Masters at LSE opinion

The title says it, can a masters at LSE in a non-finance degree help me get into IB in London? The masters will be in Local development economics, political economy or economy and society something a bit different. The reason i am considering the masters is that I am not based in the UK have 2 years of corporate banking experience in europe but I am not able to land an IB role in London (needing sponsorship doesnt help either). any thoughts?
