Bocconi Vs HEC - MSc Finance London recruitment

Hey everyone. I know this discussion has already taken place several times but I'm trying to get insight into something that wasn't mentioned before. I'm trying to choose between the two and I looked into previous threads. The typical answers were: both schools are good for IB/PE in London, but HEC is a better program.

However, as someone who has only 1 internship that's not IB, wouldn't it be better for me to pick Bocconi as their program is 2 years, which can give me time to get more relevant internships?

My lack of experience is giving me hellish anxiety, and so I'd really like to know if the Bocconi program can solve it.

Thanks everyone.

*Edit: I speak Italian more fluently than I speak French.
