Internship in Start-up or Semester studying?

Hi guys, 

I have the possibility to finish my Bachelor with an internship for the spring/summer semester.
It's in a start-up, not finance related (sadly).

Should I go for the Internship, or keep studying at Uni? I feel like having work experience is a big plus in today's situation, but lowkey irrelevant to what I want to do next.

The plans after my BSc is --> MSc and then IB/PE/AM.

Let me know your thoughts.
