If anyone is thinking of doing a masters to improve their career prospects, I'd recomment the Professional Development grant from AHRB - specifically designed for masters with lots of practical experience. Was only introduced last year so I don't think many people know about it yet. Is better than their research grants because you don't have to prove you're going to carry out some ground-breaking research, just that'll improve your job prospects. Of course, you do have to make the deadlines...
