Looking for an online UK nutrition course

I'm interested in learning more about nutrition, and I'm considering a home/online study or even a night class study to learn a bit more.
Does anyone have any advice on courses? I'm not looking to become a qualified nutritionist, but I do have a science background, so nothing so basic that with a short refresher I'll know it all in a week. The Open University course looks like it covers the topics I'm interested in, but probably doesnt go deep enough.
I'm looking at understanding nutrition for different stages in life (children, pregnancy, elderly etc), about how the body processes food, the connection with health, about nutrition for exercise and illness etc etc.
Or am I best doing self-study? I think I probably need the deadlines of a proper course.
