Final year doing SA

Quick background: I’ve accepted an SA position for this summer as a final year BSc student in the UK. Originally when applying I said I was going to be doing a MiF. Unfortunately didn’t get accepted to the program I was targeting and I don’t really feel like doing any others.

How should I proceed? 
Do I contact HR and let them know to see what my options are or should I approach it in a different way. 
 

I have seen a couple of final year SAs from this bank that didn’t do a MSc and just returned the year after. But not sure if this is common.

Citi deffo allows final years, will be heading there 

Are u gonna do a masters or just chill and go back the year after?

 

Which MiF program? What are the other options may not be as bad as you think
