Should I do a masters degree straight after I graduate with my bachelor

Should I do a masters degree straight after I graduate with my bachelor?
I'm going to start with my BSc degree in Economics at Swansea University, and having done more research into the reputation of universities, i'm kind of regretting choosing Swansea, since I declined offers from Cardiff, Manchester, Leicester and East Anglia in the process. Anyway, I don't feel it is the end of the world - it's still fairly decent and traditional, right? I'd like to do (not an MBA) but maybe something like an MSc in Economics/Finance/Management when I graduate at a much better university, e.g. Warwick, Bristol, Durham, Bath, LSE, UCL, Oxbridge etc, is this good/bad when entering the job market having graduated with such a masters degree? It means I will be 22 by time I have graduated with a masters. I'm also aiming for a job in the financial/commercial sector - it would be nice if I could enter the world of investment banking, or management/financial consulting or at least accounting. Something lucrative and prestigious in the financial world. Is my approach, by aiming to do a masters at a better university than Swansea, a good/bad idea? Thanks in advance.

If it serves your best interests- in the long run- to get a Master's now, then I would go for it now...

If you will be changing schools then I suggest letting some time pass before you apply. Graduate schools like to see that you were able to have some time to really think about you previous major and that you are sure you want to continue. After I graduate I plan to go to nepal and spend some time (a year) living with monks. I thought that would look pretty good on my application. :) But yea, taking some time off or working for a bit will look legitimate and help your chances of getting in. However, I'm sure it's not to big of a deal to go straight in.

I'd say if you have the determination to go straight in to it then go for it, but that's a few years off isn't it, so you'll not know how you feel until the time comes. Maybe by then you'll be needing a gap year or something. If you're still up for it when the time comes, I'd recommended Bristol. My friend is there, and it's a fantastic university. The lecturers are great, and there's a good pass rate there. Just work really hard to get good pass on your bachelor degree & it will help your chances to get in.
