Final year of study please help.

Hi, first time poster here but feeling a little lost. Here's a little bit of a background.I'm from New Zealand, moving to UK January 21st. I go to a Non target school and have a B average grade. During my study i've worked full time as a department manager at McDonalds. i'm also on the exec of my university's largest commerce based clubs. Other than my job I have no relevant experience within the industry.I want to break into investment banking in the Uk. So basically i was hoping to get some tips on anything I could do to differentiate myself and what's the best techniques to look for/apply for entry positions.
