Help prepping for a fixed Income Research Summer Analyst interview

I am not sure where to start. I have an interview coming up and I have no idea where to begin prepping. I am in my final year of university so I don't really have any practical work experience. The summer rotational program I applied to gives exposure to markets across foreign exchange, government bonds, corporate debt and emerging markets.
Analysts will be given a specific project during each rotation focusing on anything from developing and pitching a trade idea to creating new valuation and trading models.
Examples:
• Develop investment recommendations on Fixed Income Securities through the study of market fundamentals and technical research
• Help develop models to identify short term asset dislocations in real time
• Investigate solutions for clients longer-term asset allocation challenges (e.g. the optimal way to generate a 3% return over inflation)
What should I review and what should I expect from this interview? Should I focus more on technicals and if so, what exactly would that be?
I would really appreciate any kind of help. Thanks.
