Which degree to choose?

Hi!

I am in my 2nd year of a 4-year Chemistry degree at Imperial College London, currently have secured a spring week with an investment management firm. 

I will need a 4th year to be able to apply to summer internships in my 3rd (penultimate) year.

I have the option of choosing to do my 4th year as an MSci (Chemistry masters) or to switch to a BSc with Management degree where I will spend my 4th year at the Imperial Business School. Either way, I need a 4th year.

Which option would you choose?

Any advice is much appreciated!

Thanks!
