I'm in a similar position myself. I'm in the final year of my BSc, and am looking at doing an MSc to develop my knowledge and skills in software engineering and information security, and also in research. Academic research is something I'm interested in pursuing, and an MSc should help me to determine if it's right for me, and to prepare me for it. I suppose whether or not to do postgraduate study depends on what sort of career you want to pursue and what skills you need. There may well be other ways to acquire those skills, though a benefit of an MSc is that it is very widely recognised. (That's just my initial impressions going into this, mind.)
