Elite Universities according to UK Government

I think that settles the debate on whether University of Texas at Austin is well-regarded across the U.S. since it's obviously world-renowned. It shouldn't have been a debate in the first place.

There's only two things that come out of Texas :       
Steers
and
Well Educated Computer Science Students 
and I don't see any horns on you

University of Texas at Austin USA

Does an online degree eligible for this?

Looks like it.  There is no mention on whether the degree needs to be on campus.  So online will probably meet the criteria!  I guess that's a huge benefit for international students of going UT online vs GT online for MSCS - the UK work visa!

And also a better chance to enter the US, either for a PhD or work visa.

another benefit

what are some others?

Good point.  I've edited my post.

To clarify, that wasn't meant as a disagreement, I was legitimately just curious to see some comparison. no doubt UT Austin is a great program, but we don't have any students who have done it around here, I believe.

From what I've read, there's less chaos at UT Austin when it comes to registering for classes.

so if you graduated from 1 of the listed universities, you can get a 'High Potential Individual visa' and go to UK to find.. a job ?

sounds neat.
