Can one get into finance Master’s with no internships?

I have quite quite a normal academic record (dual degree with ~3.9 GPA and 760 GMAT) and some case championships participated/won, but no job experience whatsoever, even no internships. Are there any of the more respectable masters in finance in UK/EU that put less emphasis on the practical part? Or should I look for a job immediately to have something to put on my resume? Thank you for any advice!
