Is masters necessary for ib/hf in London?

Hey, is masters necessary for starting into ib in London or you can just start straight from college and do the masters later?
Specifically with a bachelors from lse/ucl/cam/imperial, is continuing for masters needed?

No you don't need a master's. A very quick linkedin search would have given you the answer.

 

Masters essentially gives you an extra shot at recruiting

Only need a Masters if you couldnt break into FO from the above targets (+semi targets); or if you are from non-target UG and want to rebrand yourself
