Best route into a compliance role as final year university student (UK)?

I have just completed a summer internship (compliance role) at a leading fixed-income market infrastructure company.

I am now thinking about graduate applications and see that most investment banks lack a specialised compliance route for graduates.

Does anyone have any past experience?

For the record, I go to a top target school where many students go into front office roles.
