These Regulations amend the Agriculture (Student Fees) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007, so as to substitute a new level of fee to be paid by persons undertaking a course of higher education provided by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (Regulations 4(1) and 5(2)). The Regulations also further clarify provision for the Department to apply fees to courses of further education (Regulation 4(2)), and correct an error (Regulation 1(1) and 4(1)). These Regulations revoke the Agriculture (Student fees) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007.
