Which path for MSc Finance

I am looking at two different paths for my final year of university

Some background:
Economics at UK university (non target), in second year of three
SA offer at BB in S&T (London) 0 (think BOA/UBS/Citi/BRC) - ultimate goal is to be in S&T

The two paths are:

a) pursue a term time unpaid internship at a local asset mngt. firm (very very small)
b) take on 4 modules in the math department: advanced calculus, diff. eqs, probability and discrete math, stochastic mathematics that would be on top of my modules in the business school

I am looking at maximizing my chances for admissions to a top Msc Finance if i dont end up converting the summer internship

Any advice or comments appreciated on which path would be more suitable.
