Application Before Taking Master’s Exams at Target Uni

Hi everybody,

I am finishing a Bachelor’s at non target school in Europe, but from next year I will be attending a target European university for my Master’s in Finance. This summer I will be interning at a reputable asset management firm in an investment role in my city.

I am aiming at EBs IB internships in the same city for the summer 2025.

If the recruiting process starts in September and ends in October, should I be applying before taking any exams at my new university and do the network in the summer (2024)?

Thank you very much for your time.
