Default Which finance module would be more practical for me?

i'm in univeristy, and having to choose what courses i will be taking next year.
as i am not a straight Accounting&Finance Student, (i'm a Management student, but we are in the same business school so i take finance modules as well)

due to choosing other modules as well, i won't be able to take all the finance modules available. and i want some help from you smart lot to tell me which one would be more practical and useful for me to learn:
perhaps rank them in order of which i should take more than the other.
(btw, i have taken a module in finance in my second year so i know the basics, this is just getting deeper into the topics)
