What is ELQ?
In September 2007, the Government announced the withdrawal of funding for students who are studying for an HE qualification that is equivalent to, or lower than, a qualification that they have already been awarded.For instance, someone who already has an honours degree and who is studying for a second honours degree or part-time course for their own interest would count as studying for an ELQ.
