How to become as employable as possible

Hey! I am entering my second year of a four year degree at a semi-target UK university. I am on-track to achieve a 1st (the highest grade bracket in the UK system) and I have an internship this summer at a boutique AM firm in South Africa.

I would like some advice on what I could do that would make me stand out as a candidate. For the more experienced individuals, if you were a freshman again and you had the motivation to do everything possible to make yourself stand out, what would you do?
