MSc in Finance with internship in Audit

Hi all, this is my first post here. I need some help regarding the choice of my MSc in Finance, coming from a 3-year bachelor I don't know whether a one-year master would be the right choice for me or not.

Overview 22 yo Male 7-month Internship experience as Auditor in a consulting firm (not BigFour but known in the UK) Bachelor in Accounting and Management with honors GMAT 660 University Exchange in the USA Several volunteer experiences Leadership experiences

Now my question is: if a pursue a one-year MSc in Finance in a Top-10 or Top-20 university in Europe, would I be able after my graduation to get a job as investment banker or my lack of experience is a problem?

Thanks in advance
