Will a Bachelor of Arts from UCL be an issue if I want a career in CorpFin?

Hi, I am currently studying Classics (BA) at University College London (UCL), and I want to pursue a career in Corporate Finance
Assuming I get a 1st in my degree and keep up to date with the financial world and all that stuff, will my degree, considering there isn't any economics / finance / maths involved, be an issue?
Thanks!
