courses for second and third year BSC economics UoL

hi there,
i am currently studying for a BSC in economics at UoL and I'm wondering which course to take in second and third year.
I still don't know if i'll pursue a msc in economics or more econometrics/statistics oriented. I don't want to reduce my chances by choosing the wrong courses.
I'm worried that some courses may not be important for postgraduate studies.
Among the options I have here the ones I'm the most interested in :
- EC3044 Economics of development
- EC3115 Monetary economics
- EC3120 Mathematical economics
- MT3095 Further mathematics for economists

Should I take the more mathematical ones? In the list below do you see any course which might be more useful.

Complete list :
EC2096 Economic history in the 20th century
EC3015 Economics of labour (MN3028 or EC2066)
EC3016 International economics (EC2065) + (EC2066 or MN3028)
EC3022 Public economics (MN3028 or EC2066)
EC3044 Economics of development (EC2065) + (EC2066 or MN3028)
EC3099 Industrial economics (MN3028 or EC2066)
EC3120 Mathematical economics (EC2066 + MT105A + MT105B) or (EC2066 + MT1174)
FN3092 Corporate finance (EC1002) + (MT105A or MT105B or MT1174)
GY2164 Economic geography
IR3026 International political economy (EC1002 or IR1011)
MN3028 Managerial economics (EC1002) + (MT105A or MT1174)
MT3095 Further mathematics for economists (MT105A + MT105B) or (MT1174)
Hi, I am doing uol too. You meant the lse external degree right? If you want to leave all options open, do further maths for economists and mathematical econs. I have just done year 1 and I am taking them in year 2 and 3 respectively. I am from BSc Economics & Finance and I aim to do MSc Applicable maths at LSE.
