(Psychology) Do 1st year optional modules matter if I want to do clinical psychology

Hi, I am currently picking optional modules for my course (C800 Psychology), I have 40 credits to make up for and I am torn between doing a sociology-based module or 5 smaller biology-base modules. I want to keep my pathways and options open, although clinical psychology is the path I currently see myself going down, so I was just wondering, would choosing the sociology module potentially reduce my chances of getting on a MSc course for Clinical Psychology?

No, the optional modules you choose have no bearing on your overall degree or future aspirations. Just pick what interests you.
