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!
