Sciences is all "theoretical knowledge" which in turn would make it faith based therefore being also a religion.

 It sounds to me like you would like to pursue psychology doctorate by this statement you made:

 "I believe incorporating more case studies and real-world examples would have been beneficial. While the course provided a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge, practical applications would have further enriched my learning experience. "

I would encourage you to do it. Because it sounds like you are very passionate about the topic. I believe you would make many interesting discoveries. I also agree with you about the following statement you made:

"While the course provided a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge," 

I also believe it's all "theoretical", and there is no solid proof of anything in this "Science" which I personally believe is not a science at all unless all sciences is all "theoretical knowledge" which in turn would make it faith based therefore being also a religion. The religion of science. It was interesting reading your posts.
