"Doing this course sets you apart from everybody else, it's such a competitive field to get into, loads of people apply for this job because they’ve seen it on the TV. You need to have something that makes you stand out, and if you’ve got a Master's in it then you’re going to already know more and you’ll be starting off with a base knowledge that other people won't have."
