Biomedical Science at University of Lincoln or Sheffield Hallam?

I don’t really know much about these two universities as I haven’t really searched about it. I will be paying as an international student as I am not eligible for student finance due to my visa. Which of these two universities offer help with internships, summer and 12 months, and better job prospects after graduating?

According to the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey (which offers a snapshot of what recent graduates went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'), which suggests that the two are very similar in terms of job prospects:

Biomedical Sciences graduates from University of Lincoln (sixth months after graduating):
Average annual salary:£22,000
Employed or in further education: 98%
Top job areas of graduates:
• Nursing and midwifery professionals (84%)
• Welfare and housing associate professionals (3%)
• Natural and social science professionals (2%)

Biomedical Sciences graduates from Sheffield Hallam University (sixth months after graduating):
Average annual salary:£22,000
Employed or in further education: 99%
Top job areas of graduates:
• Nursing and midwifery professionals (64%)
• Therapy professionals (16%)
• Health professionals (9%)

You can find this, and further information on the web pages below:
• Biomedical Sciences at University of Lincoln
• Biomedical Sciences at Sheffield Hallam University

Note, by the way, that both have very few international students (1% and 2% respectively), and that students at Lincoln tend to get better degrees (77% 2:1 or above, vs. 72% at Sheffield Hallam) and they tend to me more satisfied, overall, with the course (89% vs. 74% at Sheffield Hallam).
