Economics or Business?

I'm finishing my high school this year and I basically have two choices: do an undergraduate in Economics at university or go for a 5 year degree at business where you specialise later on (accounting, management, etc..)


 

A 5yr degree at business? Is this a UK thing or something?

Aren't their programs generally 3 years (England I think primarily, Scotland is 4 years)?

If the 5 year business degree lets you walk out with an MBA, I’d recommend against it.

Yeah exactly.

are they both grande Ecole's?

how longs the economics degree?

I'd do business personally but depends what you want to do

you'll have more intern opps with 5 year degree

 

whats the goal?

the French ive seen come in as interns in PE and private credit usually are grand ecole, having done 5 year degrees with masters, and typically come in a bit older, like age 24-27, id guess
