IB from Non target UK

I study accounting and finance at Durham University which to my understanding is not a target. I am in year 1 and this summer I’m interning in a relatively well known Swiss bank (London headquarters). I’m planning on gaining more work experience and do a placement on Asset management or sales and trading. Is it possible for me to get into the sell side right after I graduate? Or is it advisable to pursue an MBA and then try?

I would also remove the profile picture lol if that’s your real face.
