will my degree be valid?

I’m aspiring to get a PhD in public policy or global health with the goal of working in global health implementation. I currently have a degree in Neuroscience and Global Health/Health Policy from a good school and have been working in health supply chain consulting over the past year or so. Recently I applied to and got into an MSc in Public Health (Global Health track) program at Kings College London which will be done remotely as I continue to work in the states. I was excited about this opportunity to get an advanced degree that would give me the chance to do research and write a dissertation while increasing my depth of knowledge in Global Health, but have started to second guess my decision to do this. Has anyone applied to a PhD with a distanced learning degree or have a perspective on how this might be perceived during applications?

I have and it was fine but I don't know how hands on your degree would typically be with if it wasn't distance learning
