One of the greatest things about doing a masters course is that you have an opportunity to learn from your fellow classmates who often have a wealth of personal, practical experience to draw on. So while you are learning the theory of a particular subject, you are also learning how the theory applies in practice which for a practitioner like myself is invaluable.
