Big 4 Intern applying for finance grad roles

Hi everyone,

I've just completed an audit internship at a Big 4 firm in London, and I'm going to be applying to finance roles. I also have two spring weeks, multiple leadership positions on my CV/Resume, good A-levels and programming knowledge. I am studying at an arguable semi-target university (people get into IBD each year, sometimes BBs. Middle/back office roles more common). 

I'm not looking for a front office investment banking role; what are some middle and back (preferably middle) office roles that are suitable given my academic background?

I am currently looking at risk analyst graduate jobs but want to explore all options.
