Need help for school orientation

Hi everybody!
I'm a swiss student who is starting university next year and has to decide between two different kind of universities for my bachelor: One is the best university of engineering in Switzerland ( "Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne") and the other is the best university in business administration in switzerland ("HEC St-Gall").
I am interested in investment banking and corporate finance / M&A, therefore i would like to know what kind of education I should choose to maximise my chances to work in these financial activities.
Thank you for your advice.
Best regards.
Loïc

Thank you for your reply. The reason of my question is that i have heard that the bank industry in london is looking more and more for people with a strong education in maths which is less the case in HEC St. Gall, this is why i am hesitating with a polytechnical school. I prefer staying in switzerland because the universities are very good and not so expensive if you are swiss.
