Considering doing a Masters

Hi Monkeys,

Im considering doing a masters partly to enjoy the subject and learn more but also a focus on career opportunities.

Considering I want to work in IB What would be more advantageous doing a masters in finance or doing a more academic degree such as economics (my under grad degree) etc.

I am thinking of looking at places like Imperial, Warwick, Durham etc. Do you have any suggestions / places I shouldn't look at considering I want to progress in IB?
