Undergraduate degree worth it for an EU applicant?

Hey everyone,

Career goal (short term): Investment Banking, Consulting

I am graduating in June 2021 from an European Bachelor (non-target, no name) + no relevant experience.
I could pursue a MSc in the UK from a semi target (Warwick, Edinburgh, Nottingham) in Finance, or re-do a second bachelor (LSE/Oxbridge) in Finance.

Tuitions fees have skyrocketed for undergraduate degrees (think £22k/year) + I believe competitions for EU applicants will be lower this year.

Is it worth it? This might be my only chance to get to a purely-target university and will be less of a grind to get offers in IB (AFAIK MSc are not necessary once you got through SA Internship and potentially FT offer). I think it's insane to pay this much, but it has been months I am planning to moving to the UK and work in IB.

Let me know about your thoughts.
