Senior Internship Advice -London Market

I am currently in my 3rd year of university in the UK and have no relevant IB experience as I am studying a BSc in Actuarial Science and Risk Management. Currently, I am 8 months into a 13 month industrial placement in the long term risk modelling team at a large pension fund but I don’t feel like this is relevant to IB.

Do I need to complete a MSc in Finance once I complete my bachelor’s? As I don’t see how I will be hired for SA roles, or am I writing myself off before I even apply for graduate roles?
