Right, because I am seriously considering switching from econ to eme after first year because I want to get into either a more quants based job or a good master.

Would you say it is a better degree then economics for jobs in consultancy/research or a masters ?

Your chances of getting a good job in an economic consultancy/research without a masters is very low. You need the masters and for admission into a good masters, you'd be marginally better placed with the econometrics degree -- mainly because you get some research experience in your final year.

It really doesn't matter much though. Just get some good grades in whatever course you're on.

Hi,
I have to choose between EC221/EC210 for the second year of Maths & Econ degree. Looking at the results, it seems a higher proportion of people get first/2a in EC221 than in EC210. Also, to do a masters in either finance or economics requires us to choose EC210 or FM212 in third year anyway (If EC221 is chosen in the second year) so I was thinking of doing EC221 for the second year which means that I can wait until third year to decide which masters I would want to do. In addition, since linear regression and hypothesis testing is very useful later on in life, I was thinking of doing EC221 in the second year which would mean that I dont forget ST102 topics. If instead I did it in the third year, I probably would forget most of the detail of ST102 but most students on student room seem to do it in the third year. What do you think I should do? I am planning of doing a masters in economics (depends on my future results) for which I have to do EC221 and EC210 but I am not convinced of choosing EC210 for the second year because on TSR people say its hard to get first/2a and I dont want a unit to be dragging down my hope of getting a first.
