All in on Investment Banking with MSc Optional Modules?

As part of my MSc in Finance and Investment, I have the opportunity to select 3 of the following optional modules to study. Since my end goal is Investment banking, would it be wise to all in on those tagged? Or should I pick a module that isnt entirely IB related?

Core Modules:
Asset Pricing
Financial Reporting and Analysis
Fundamentals of Corporate Finance
Quantitative Methods for Finance and Investment

Optional Modules:
Derivatives
Financial Modelling - X
Investment Management - X
Advanced Corporate Finance - X
Banking
Credit Risk
Behavioural Finance

I do have an interest in Derivatives and Banking, although Im not sure if these modules would set me up the best for my future.

Any input is greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
