Individual modules certainly don't matter - approx. 50% of trainees at most top law firms have non-law degrees (myself included and I secured a TC) so won't have studied any law at all. It really won't matter what modules you studied and they won't affect what practice you ultimately qualify into - that will depend on where you do your seats during the TC.
If you want to explore other areas out of interest, there are much easier ways to do so than a masters - joining a zoom session certainly sounds like one of those options. A lot of firms will directly host seminars related to practice areas in law for prospective grads, and websites like LegalCheek and LawCareers.net also normally host these seminars with a law firm partner. You mentioned being a diversity candidate and AspiringSolicitors is another org that also hosts more targeted events like this. I attended a few of these to get more knowledge when I was researching a career in law and found them quite useful.
