Networking for Sales&Trading Internship in London

Hi guys,

I have just finished my first year at university and am preparing myself to apply for summer 2024 internships in London for the Sales&Trading division. 

Is networking essential to get an interview and how should I approach it? 

As for my background, I come from Central Europe and I study here. I have already completed one summer internship in Global Markets in an international bank that has a CIB branch in my country. I have done a spring insight program in London at a hedge fund. Now, I am during another internship at a well-known, international bank in my country. Any help is greatly appreciated!
