is it possible for GESDAP transition to IB

I have an other for the government economic service degree apprenticeship and im wondering if it would be possible to switch over to IB (or any other finance related jobs for the matter) after completing the 4 years. Also, would it be worth doing a masters on top of that or no.

My other options are uni, currently nottingham and bristol but given how my grades have massively improved since the applications were sent, im considering a gap year then going to a target. But this step obviously depends on my alevels.
