> For those interested there's a number of UK universities that offer a remote master's.
Would you say it is worth pursuing Masters from the UK university? If you dont mind which university would you consider worth it?

For someone who's never done anything technical it's quite a leap, but not impossible. I can see she's increasing in confidence from learning this type of stuff, which is really positive.
If you're doing it to get a job, then it does seem likely that a CS master's will get you some interviews. Certainly the content is what you'd expect. It's a red brick (certain unis that were established I think in the 1800s?) she's studying at, so pretty good rep but not Oxbridge, which has its own aura. But worthwhile for sure, people won't look down on a red brick.
Yes, although they're not particularly well regarded for CS (not bad, just not better than other places). They have a reputation for being overly focussed on theory, and this is also a discipline that other universities do very well.
I really like the look of Oxford’s computer science courses, but that’s partly because of the theoretical/philosophical bent to them.
The Oxbridge aura extends to every course, nobody would really know anything other than that you went there.
Whether it's good or not, my guess is it's much the same menu as anywhere else in any established broad degree course. There'll be optional courses that take you more theoretical or more practical, totally up to you, but the content ain't gonna vary terribly much.
