Manchester Economics BA or BSc

I've received an offer to study BA Economics at Manchester but looking at the course structure I really don't like the fact that you have to do so many irrelevant modules and I was wondering if it's possible to change to BSc either now (I'm in year 13 and I also do Maths A-level) or once I get in?

I also don't understand the title of the degree, it says on the Manchester Uni website BA Economics but now it turns out it's a BA in Economics and Social studies (which doesn't sound that great), would this be a big deal to employers, eg. investment banks? Otherwise the university looks fantastic and it has an amazing international reputation.
Any thoughts?

You can *ask* to change, but they don't have to let you change. I'd suggest that you do this now though - this will mean that you don't have to deal with it during the hectic first couple of weeks, and they can plan their numbers accordingly. You'd change by getting in touch with the School of Social Sciences.

It's BA Economic and Social Studies specialising in Economics is what I'm pretty sure gets written on your degree certificate. It's commonly referred to as BA(Econ) Economics though. The BA(Econ) soc does seem to get targeted by Ernst and Young, PwC etc. though https://www.facebook.com/BaEconSociety

Ultimately, I'd say that if you want a traditional, focused economics course then go for the BEconSc course. If you want to explore some other areas of social science, and want the opportunity to switch to specialising in another social science, then go for BA(Econ).
