Do London boutiques (PWP, Greenhill, PJT ecc) accept 1-year masters student for SA positions?

Hi guys I am about to start a 1-year Msc in Finance in London and I was looking to apply to SA for BBs and boutiques. While for large banks it is made clear whether they accept only penultimate year students or not, it is less clear for boutiques/independent advisory firms. Does anyone know if firms like Evercore/Greenhill/PJT/Moelis/PWP accept only penultimate year students and I should, therefore, apply straight to graduate programs?

Any info will be appreciated thanks.

 

I thought about that too, but from what i hear HR departments know the masters pretty well and know they will last 1 year only so I am kind of stuck there since some EBs are already open for SA roles

Yeah, I know what you mean. However, every student can extend his or her master when wanted. When HR asks you about it, simply say that you want to add an exchange/take extra courses/take a few months off during your MSc to do other relevant work. And then you graduate as per your original plan.
