Best option

I am a french student looking to break into IB or Equity Research. Currently in my final year of a Bachelor's degree and have the opportunity to pursue a double degree. The program consists of a first year, followed by a gap year, and then a year at xxx. 

Which option would be the best for breaking into corporate finance?
