Politics degree and IBD

Hello everyone, I am about to go to university on September, I will study politics BA at The University of Warwick. The course in general is more political theory oriented, however apparently it could help me to build up my analytical ability. There are also some course about quantitative method applied to politics with the use of R. I am wondering if it is possible for me to get into IBD without doing a Master in Management. I am looking for applying some spring week programs, however on the web page of Banks like Goldman Sachs, they did not specify what major should I be pursuing. I am wondering what should I be doing now and is there any useful resources I can use to improve my chances of going into IBD.
