UK Undergraduate application for UK Postgraduate

Hi guys how you doing? Well, I'm a fresher at QMUL in September of 2020, failed in one of my modules for some reason(just about to resit the exam this August), got both marks over 70% for the other two modules. The only thing I know is my year one counts for 10% overall and I wonder to what extent my failed module in year one affects my future application in the UK? Thank you, guys.

A single wobbly grade is unlikely to make much difference to a postgrad application.

In my opinion I don't think it will really make a difference given how small the weighting is for first year in terms of your overall degree classification. I don't know how many modules you take or the respective credits but given that you have high marks for your other two modules I wouldn't worry. I'm in third and final year and have applied and got offers for postgraduate study and whilst in my case, my first year marks didn't count anyway towards my final degree classification I think, in general, there is more attention paid to your second and third year marks. So I don't don't it's worth worrying about at all and I'd just say do what you can to revise for the resit but don't worry about it in terms of postgraduate study, that's quite a long way off anyway so it's best to just focus on the present moment I think.
