What should I wear to a UBS internship interview?

So I have this interview for a 6 month internship in banking with UBS, it's a 1 hour interview scheduled next Tuesday in their headquarters, so it's pretty important shyt. I wanna nail this interview and get the position. I already have a 30 min phone interview next week and a 1 hour personal interview with the head of the department and some other guys. I've already "passed" the first rounds so this is looking good.

What should I wear? I've never done this before, I don't even have suits, I have no dress shirts or pants. I've never worn any, except maybe some light brown dress pants at a wedding once but that's it. I'm going to have to go and buy the stuff.

I'm obviously not going to show up in jeans and a sweater at the UBS headquarters.

I was thinking of going with a pair of dress pants and a white dress shirt or something. Like this:

I don't think I should go with a full blown suit and a tie. But then again, I have no idea.

Thanks guys

Ok guys went to look at shops today, went to 4 different stores.

One is crappy, has 120-150 dollar suits, one has basically only 15-20 suits in the whole shops so they almost surely won't have my size (I go to the gym), another one has a bit more and another one has high end stuff like Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren, Strellson, Tommy Hilfiger, Yves.

Expensive stuff, I dunno, should I get a high end one. I don't have any suits, I might as well buy one not only for the interview but for later in life.
