If you want an MSc, and an interesting course, how about:
http://www.comp.brad.ac.uk/courses/courses.php/pg/mscfc/

Or possibly
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/admissions/postgraduate-taught/degree_info/msc-csec/

Some of the MSc modules available at the OU are quite interesting
http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/classifications/information_technology_and_computing.shtm
if you are the kind of person who can study at home after a hard
day's work.

However, as pointed out elsewhere, LPI is more practical than most
academic courses, and none are a substitute for real experience -
it all depends upon why you want to do the course.
