Morgan Stanley S&T Phone Interview (SA 2021)

Hello guys,

After a lot of tryharding I finally qualified for a 1st round phone interview at Morgan Stanley in S&T.
From the research I've done it's apparently half fit and half technical, so I won't hide that I'm a bit apprehensive on that point, any idea what I should work on?
I plan to prepare by studying my derivatives course (options, futures/forward pricing), my fixed income course (convexity, duration, embedded options, immunization etc...) and some macro.
Do you think it's enough? I'm a Master in Financial Markets student so they might expect me to be some finance wiz, so maybe I should also work on more advanced products or quantitative stuff like the greeks, stochastic models, structured products etc...

I really really want that internship and I'm afraid to be dinged because I didn't focus my attention on the right things, and S&T is so wide I don't know what to focus on, I don't even know for what desk I'm interviewing... (it just says S&T when we apply).
Let's not even talk about things I read like questions on geometry and probabilities x)

Thanks a lot for your help!

I don't know buddy to be honest, I gave all the information I had access to haha.
I'm applying for a London SA internship in S&T, I don't have any other information, like on the application page in Morgan Stanley there was absolutely 0 information.
The format was like 2021 S&T Summer Internship ==> Apply
No description nothing, that's why I'm wondering what the hell is happening, I don't even know for what desk/division inside of S&T I will be interviewed for....
