Undergraduate

Does undergraduate course matter, would it be better to do say an accounting course in a semi target or do an economics and finance course in a non target to get into a FO role in IB doing something like trading or would I be stuck in an accounting role if I do an accounting degree such as auditing. (talking about UK colleges when I refer to the target factor).
