Better Journalism Masters- City, Cardiff or Sheffield?

Hey,
I've been accepted to City University's International Journalism MA, as well as the Magazine Journalism MA at Cardiff. I will also be interviewing for Magazine at Sheffield in Jan.

From what I hear, the journo programmes at all three of these universities are on par.

I'm from India, and I've had 3 years of journalistic experience so far (mostly at magazines). Initially, I was a biased toward the International Journalism course at City- I figured being in London would be more advantageous for networking and job opportunities, and I've heard good things about City Uni. But a few acquaintances in India who attended the same course about 3-4 years ago said it was too basic, and a lot of time was spent just getting students up to speed with the language. That, and the course isn't PTC-accredited.

I'm trying to make an informed decision about which course to pick by accounting for all the variables - the most important of which are the quality of the course and the amount of internship and employment opportunities (whether that's a matter of location or placements through the university itself)

I'M SO CONFUSED THOUGH!

Help, anyone?
