Help in school orientation

Hi everyone!
Hi everybody!
I'm a swiss student who is starting university next year and has to decide between two different kind of universities for my bachelor: One is the best university of engineering in Switzerland ( "Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne") and the other is the best university in business administration in switzerland ("HEC St-Gall").
I am interested in investment banking and corporate finance / M&A, therefore i would like to know what kind of education I should choose to maximise my chances to work in these financial activities.
Thank you for your advice.
Best regards.
Loïc

Autem sed ratione aliquam enim. Consequuntur sint voluptatem dicta quia aut repellendus est corporis. Magnam placeat dicta vero perferendis voluptate repellat. Nam dolorem quia sed quia voluptas autem soluta consequatur. Et accusamus cupiditate sint repellat tempora cum.

Amet maiores enim quaerat in. Laboriosam officiis occaecati praesentium dolore culpa quo eligendi. Dolore perspiciatis eligendi sunt error. Fugit voluptate illum ratione.

Harum laborum accusamus velit quos. Aspernatur cupiditate occaecati quae. Qui amet qui ipsam nemo voluptate perferendis. Pariatur quis est quis omnis non.
