Top 10 Msc Finance Requirement

Hi everyone, I am new.
As I have already said before I am italian and I am working in Luxembourg for an investment bank (since 6 months).

I am thinking to move in the UK and I have several question about that, I hope you could help me:

- I would like to find a job in the financial sector (as investment analyst or asset management), as I am not in the UK yet, should I do a Msc before?

- According with my cv, which university should I apply for (Msc Finance)?

My cv briefly:
Bachelor's Degree from University of Pisa (102/110)*
5 Months as intern at Royal Bank of Canada Luxembourg in the OTC Derivatives Pricing
2 Months at Nomura Luxembourg (Transaction Management Department).
Currently studying for GMAT and TOEFEL.

*there is not a clear comparation table between UK and Italian grades, but it supposed to be 1 point less to get than 2:1 (from 103/110).

As my accademic cv is not very strong, can my professional experience (and a good GMAT scroe) give me any possibility to get into a top 10?

A CFA module 1 could be an asset for my application or it will be useless?

Many thanks and good luck for sunday night!

ps. I have a permanent contract at Nomura. I was thinking to enroll into a Msc program or just move to London not before next year: at that time I should have 1.5 years of working experience.
