Please give advice which course to choose? (UCL, Queen Mary)

I got an offer for the following courses: MSc Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology (UCL), MSc Infection and Immunity (UCL) and MSc Biomedical Sciences (Medical Microbiology) (Queen Mary University). I would like to work in infectious disease prevention or other areas of public health (not quite sure yet). I would love to hear about anyone's experiences about these courses, or any insight which one is the most useful, or unique. Thank you for your answers in advance!

I haven't done the course but I would research online. Look up the course/module leaders and the experience of your lecturers. See if they have recent citations and their research areas. Aside from that, UCL is a more recognised University.
