Incoming 1st year undergraduate

Im going to start my first year in university this september at UCL (university college london) and I want some advice on what to do to get ready and started early and know the process to getting a job. I don't have an integrated year in industry so i don't want to be in a position where I have no internships or experience for when I graduate. 

What is your advice to get ready during my 1st + 2nd year.
