UCL MSc Strategic Accounting and Finance masters - worth it?

This is a remote/online masters offered by UCL’s school of management. I know UCL isn’t regarded that highly for masters, but it is still considered a tier 1 uni, and I did/am doing an LSE undergrad in Economics and Politics, but have little work experience so I want to do a masters to buy myself more time. Im most concerned about the fact that it’s an online masters and whether employers would still view this as credible. My end goal is to break into consulting. The total cost is 15k, which is much cheaper than doing a in person Masters at any other top university.Is it worth doing?
