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?

Your chances are better at EDHEC (coming from someone who usually advocates for Imperial). That course at Imperial is not well respected and not a target course at all. EDHEC 's MFin places decently well in all realms of finance as far as I'm aware
