I would feel reluctant to study botany with the Australian Correspondance School. A good knowledge of gum trees may not be what you want.

Hi meyre, I wasn't stunningly impressed, but not for the above reason.
They've got a UK based section that deals with users from this part of the globe but a lot of their advertised on-line support, submission, library stuff seemed either pretty sparse or not working properly. I only completed some of the course as the rest was geared totally to Horticulture which wasn't what I was wanting at all.
If you could find somewhere you could do a course or evening classes face-to-face with the lecturers you might get more from it.
For myself I found it difficult not having any personal contact with a teacher, and having no fellow students to work with and pass ideas, questions back and forth. I think you can learn a lot from the the people you're studying with, as well as from the person teaching the course.
Don't be put off as this was just my response, and someone else might give completely different feedback.
(The other thing I don't know, as it wasn't relevant for me, is whether you'd come out of a course with any recognised qualifications - can't remember what the blurb had to say on that one......)
Sorry if that all sounds a bit negative as I don't want to put you off something that might work for you, but for me it didn't really.
