So, I applied to this hedge fund to gain an internship as I am in my final year of university and I wanted to gain as much experience in the banking field broadly but also specifically with asset and investment management. I really didn't expect to get it considering I have only done 1 internship in consultancy and go to a non-Russel group university. I don't have any distinguishing qualifications so I was expecting a rejection.
I am feeling a little pressure after getting the offer and I really want to take this opportunity to learn as much as I can whilst being able to work as much as I would be able to do.
What can I do to prepare for it? What skills should I learn so I am equipped for the experience? Any ideas would be amazing, especially if you have had an internship in a Hedge Fund before or something similar?
PS - The hedge fund is a boutique that specialises in Equities

I'm sorry I can't answer your question - But wishing you the best of luck, and sometimes the best things in life just come from 'winging it'

Which universities did you attend and which course did you study?

I'm not some super genius student either at my uni, I get 2.1s and 1s and I have participated in a lot of programs/societies in and outside of university as well.

I am worried I won't be able to use this experience as much as I can
