Summer internships / off-cycle for final year mechanical engineering student

Hi all, 

I'm a mechanical engineer studying at a semi-target UK University with 1st / 4.0 (uni of Nottingham). Currently doing a year long engineering internship and will then return to finish my masters for 2025 finish) 

Sitting cfa level 1 in a month with strong chance to pass(fingers crossed).

I have no relevant experience, should I apply to summer internships or off cycle programs? Any banks that dont allow recent graduates?

Thank you in advance for any help.
