Do MSc Finance or Internship

Hello all,

I have got accepted for the MSc Finance at Imperial College but also for a 6-months internship at Credit Agricole in Credit Trading London both starting Sep 19

My Background: Did internships at HSBC (Germany- Equity Research), BNP (Equity Derivatives Sales/Trading- Germany) and FX Trading (German Small Bank)

Now I was wondering which one (Finance master or internship at Credit Agricole) is better for my future career? Would it be weird to do one more internship? I find both opportunities very interesting but I am unsure which one is more valued by the recruiters (internship over master in Finance?)

Thank you very much for your help
