    Can I get more qualifications?
    I've recently finished my 3rd year at Uni, and now as you'd imagine i'm abhorrently bored.

    I was just wondering if there's any way I can do something proactive - maybe do another A-Level (I only did 2 while at 6th form) or some sort of other qualification I can do (preferably low cost or free!).

    If not I may just do a dissertation over the summer and just do a post-grad course.

    Got one. Can't get any more hours and applying for others all the time. I'm sick of spending my time playing FIFA.

    You won't be able to get funding for a course if it is at a lower educational level to what you have already achieved...so free A levels is out lol. Best to move onwards and upwards and if you really want to continue studying go for postgrad. If you want it to be free go for one of the healthcare courses

    Look at local colleges, they do part time evening courses on Languages, Business, Arts etc. Example being City Lit in London.

    It's a great idea mate, I've been learning Spanish.

    I'd look at course that'd improve your employability skills such as admin/business/etc....not sure what your budget is for training but I've heard Pitman training are really good - albeit pricey - and its something I'm considering should I change my mind about going back to uni.
