LSE MSc Finance or Bocconi MSc Finance

Hi everyone, I need your help

My goal is going into IB in London. I am a management engineering undergraduate and I have two options.

1) Apply straight out the undergrad to the Bocconi Msc Finance

2) Delay my graduation to be able to do a 6 months exchange programme to a UK non-target uni, acquire 6 months relevant experience and then try to apply to the LSE Msc finance.

What do you think about it? Thanks a lot
