I'm currently a penultimate year student at a Russell Group university and have been struggling to secure an internship.
My applications have mainly been for commercial law firms, banks, the civil service and also think tanks. I understand that academics is not the only part of the application that these organisations consider when offering places, and I am also aware that there is always areas in these other assessment methods where I can improve, but I'm wondering if my chances could be improved if I undertook a masters degree.
After having spoken to various heads of graduate recruitment at several career fairs at my university - some of which have told me there is no point in applying with my A level grades (ABB (for some of the law firms)) - would it make sense to complete a masters as a way to overshadow or reduce the negative consequences of my A level grades?
