Is it too late for summer internships?

Hey folks,

I’ve just completed my first semester of third year in mechanical engineering. Currently on a 4-year BEng program but hoping to switch to an integrated masters after this year, provided i achieve the minimum GPA.

I work a part-time job in retail but have absolutely no experience in engineering. I’m hoping to find a summer internship for 2025, but I haven’t even begun applying. I’m based in the UK.

My question is, is it too late to get one, and if so is there something else I can do to build my CV before 4th year?
