  • Hi, 

    It might be worth checking out the Open University. They not only offer degrees/certificates and other qualifications virtually (this could be interesting later on) but also offer 'short courses' and you can take individual modules on subjects you are interested in. I think for these short courses the entry requirements are very relaxed, so this might be a nice way to explore different subjects. 

    I know about Open University as when I was at school (pre-GCSE actually), I took some individual biology modules with the Open University for fun. At the time it was relatively expensive though...

    Also if you felt like taking a look at some courses on the side, Coursera has some fun materials  and courses (and many of these can be accessed for free). This could be nice if you wanted to explore different areas. I used to sign up for lots of these (though I often didn't get time to follow the courses properly, but no harm as it is free).

    I hope you manage to take some courses! Have fun :)
