Well in terms of exam marks, it is:
 F.I>Stats.>Econ>M.Acc
Surprisingly...

First 3 are very close.

But in terms of overall,
Stats>Econ>F.I>M.Acc




I'll just list a few favourite modules: Finance, Business Law, Stats, Econ, F.I-financial part...
VBA is quite interesting, also very rewarding. Prof skills--- what can I say?
F/M Accounting- I'm using the holidays to become more interested and maybe learn a bit more.
Eg: Statement of changes in equity and comprehensive income...


Let's see---  effort required for this term: Econ definitely---for the long answer part. MCQ is very similar.
Stats... not too bad- just learn past papers.(part of exam was similar to last year's IFRM maths module)-the hypothesis test on matched pairs.
F.I... learning the corporate gov. part--- didn't go so well for me. Finance part was fine. Result was surprising. I thought I needed a resit.
M.Acc... probably needed the most effort for long answers, but the questions are so unexpected... Remembering so much didn't really pay off.



Overall review of 1st year: Modules are not particularly difficult. It's not L100, there is no Maths, don't worry. There is no need to worry about differential equations, proofs, matrices, eigenvectors, linear algebra.
I thought I would fail coursework in the beginning, but it didn't happen. (well it almost did...)
