Currently student in Germany - working in finance possible?

Hi guys!
Hope it’s ok to share my thoughts / ask my question…
So I came back to Germany from my semester abroad in London and I fell in love with the city so that I wanna work there for two or three years. I’m currently doing my masters degree in business with my main focus on banking, insurance and investment management. Question: my grades are good but average… my university is good but not target. From your experience, is it still possible to brake into banking or insurance in the UK?
Cheers and have a good weekend!

(Additional information: studied dual at an international insurance company for bachelor degree and worked as a working student in consulting for one year)
