Land a Quantitative Trading internship as a Business student

Hi, I am a 2nd-year Management student with an interest in analysis and programming. What can I do to decrease my chances of not being even considered due to my degree for a quantitative trading internship? (In the UK)

The first thing I could think of is to trade and show track record and code, which I haven’t started doing yet.

Also, do you know/have you ever seen a Management student working as a quant trader?
