Be very careful about US master's. Over there they have a much weaker pipeline for masters into something like IB (different story for quant roles but even then a non-stem degree wouldn't be wholly ideal). Look at prev threads for masters pipelines into IB in the US, outside of MBA-->assoc recruiting ofc.

 

It would make more sense to break into London IB as an undergrad and spend a year there and then lateral to the US internally as a part of a rotation scheme. You'd end up in America at the same time and as you are a citizen you'd likely get to stay. This is assuming you have those offers which you might not (probably don't). In which case again, look at the masters with actual pipelines into IB. Something like princeon or MIT have a strong brand name but might not be great for placement at master's level. Just double check

FYI your degree is only offered by UCL and LSE :p

 

+ you won't be able to break into US IB from LBS/Oxbridge (for MFins Oxford is the only worthwhile one btw) out of school. You'd still have to do a london stint.
