Bocconi Undergrad to London IB

Hi everyone,

I am a bocconi bachelor student (2nd year) and I would like to apply to investment banking internships in London for the next summer. However, I have read and talked to several people who told me that it is almost impossible to get straight into IB during your bachelor and that I need to get a master’s, since only UK local students are used to going into IB with their bachelor only. Is this true? Is it because of Italian students habits that they only apply after their master’s or is it really that difficult to get into IB being a Bocconi student only with a bachelor?
