Investment Banking Carer Path

I’m currently on a gap year and I just received my A level result which were (Maths - A, Econ - A, Business - B [considering remark as was very close to A]). I didn’t apply to uni last year as my I was predicted an E in maths . I want to go into the field of high finance / investment banking in the long term and the finance BSC at Durham uni caught my eye as typical offer was grades AAB. Do you think this would be good enough for IB as the requirements seem quite low for a very prestigious uni (econ bsc typical offer was A*AA) and I’m worried this isn’t an academic enough degree. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

It's fine for IB. You've got to remember that IB isn't academic at all, so why are you worrying about a degree not being academic enough? Economics is just a much more popular subject, hence has higher grades. I've see people get into places like UCL, LSE and even Oxbridge on AAA/AAB grades for some courses, yet they're still highly employable in IB too
