MSc Finance for investment banking

Hi. I am a third year economics student at warwick uni and i am trying to break into investment banking. I interned at the bank of england in the summer and also have a HF internship. I have had a few interviews for SA 2026 positions such as Barclays and Rothschild (waiting to hear back from) but I am wondering what I should do if I don't get an offer as the vast majority of banks have given them out. I have begun applying to masters such as LSE MSc Finance but if I go down this route can I still apply for the next SA cycle since it is a 1 year course?

Many thanks
