Hedge fund internship (Citadel/Point72/Marshall Wace) out of undergrad? [London]

Wondering how hard it is to get into the big hedge funds' internships in London as an undergrad. Would appreciate what sort of backgrounds they take, what processes are like/if they're very technical (i don't study econ or finance), and how many people they take. Also wondering what advantages there are to taking one over an IBD/ER gig in London specifically (not many L/S HFs here i think)

Is it harder/easier than getting into a top London bank? I'm aware they take less and buyside out of UG is rare but want to confirm my assumption.
