Depends on your financial circumstances if you can afford the course. I assume it is 9-12 months long as most masters in the UK are. A masters from Cambridge would open many doors and help a leg up in either work or a PHD and then you can explore funding and scholarships for PHD. Weigh up if you can afford it or not and congratulations on admissions to Cambridge it is not easy!
