         c)      the level of the HDR; and
         d)      the cost type of the HDR.

     (3)                    For the purposes of (2)(b) and the table in (4) of this paragraph, a student has completed an eligible research internship where they have met the requirements about duration, days, hours and commencement as set out in paragraph 1.4.13, even where they continue engaging in the eligible research internship after they have already met those requirements.

     (4)                    A HEP's weighted student completions for a year is equal to the sum of the number of completions for each student type multiplied by the HDR cost type, as specified in the following table:

     (5)                    The weighting for completion of an eligible research internship is to only be applied:
         a)      to Research Doctorate student completions on or after 1 January 2022;
         b)      to a student once per Research Doctorate completion; and
         c)      where the requirements of an eligible research internship set out in paragraph 1.4.13 have been met prior to a student completing their Research Doctorate.

     (6)                    High-cost and low-cost completions are determined in accordance with high-cost and low‑cost fields of education identified in Part 1.7.
