I'm deciding between an exam-heavy course at a Russell Group uni, and a coursework-heavy course at a less-prestigious uni.Think I'm leaning towards the coursework uni- it'll hopefully be less stressful and let me enjoy uni more and get more involved in clubs and things 😯 I think the main motivation will just be the greater oopportunities when I finish :-)
I'd probably go for the same as you! My MSc course had no exams and it was so much preferable in my opinion.
And it's definitely a good thing to be able to get more involved in clubs and sports and things - you can often get just as much out of those things as you can from the academic side of things when it comes to applications, interviews, job opportunities etc.

On GCSE Geography (Edexcel) got 398/400 ums. Dropped 2 ums on the 3rd paper as I ended up not revising properly and answering the complete wrong question (answer 2 of the 4 available and on one of those 2 answered what we hadn't studied). Was pretty happy about that. Unfortunately that trend didn't continue.........
100 UMS in my GCSE physics exams (coursework let me down grrrr)
Then 100, 100, 98 UMS in my GCSE biology and chemistry exams (coursework let me down once again)
Although I was buzzing with these results, I was even more impressed to get an A* in history GCSE despite learning nothing for 2 years (literally, our teacher did nothing but tell us to copy from the textbook) as well as getting full UMS in one exam.
