Need Advice for Study

Hi,

New to this forum and website so if I'm posting to the wrong area let me know. Also I'm from Australia if that's important.

Anyhow, I'm looking into a future in financial services, mainly IB, M&A, hedge funds, equity sort of thing.

I've been researching I'm getting conflicting advice in terms of what to study. Here in Australia the benchmark standard seems to be Law coupled with finance as a double degree. However, some are saying engineering graduates make it, as well as statistics degrees.

So I'm just asking for advice, whats the best degree to study to maximize my competitiveness for the job areas listed above as well as what will give me the biggest advantage.
