Studying in UK - How to break into Australian finance scene?

Hi Guys, 

I'm in my first year of a BSc Mathematics and Economics degree with the LSE - University of London, on track to graduate in Nov 2025 with the option to extend it to July 2026.


I am an Australian citizen (been living in UK for a while), and eager to break into the Investment Banking/HF field after graduating.


Will I be eligible to apply for 2024 Summer internships? I feel my situation is somewhat unique and want to know how to maximize the opportunity.


Any advice is much appreciated!
