Following
If we're talking about the UK:
UBS, CS (dedicated final year scheme), Barclays, MS, JPM (although I've heard this is only for markets-related roles), Citi
Ones I'm slightly unsure about/have seen limited cases of it happening: GS, BAML, Rothschild, Lazard
It's worth noting that you can access all internships if you just say you're going to do Masters (via your CV) and then adjust your graduation date on the application to circumvent auto-rejection BUT some places (namely DB) will make you prove you're actually doing a Masters.
