Joining an SWF in ME right out of undergrad

Hi monkeys,

I am a student at a UK target with excellent buy-side internship experience in London. How feasible is it to join the likes of ADIA, Mubadala and QIA right out of undergrad, given they don't seem to have official graduate programmes? 

Would appreciate any advice!
