What to study for career in finance

Hello! I would like to consult which course to take to pursue career in finance.
I have 3 options(full description linked)^
1) International Business Economics with major in Finance http://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/web/Faculties/SBE/TargetGroup/Education/Bachelor/EconomicsAndBusinessEconomics/Specialisations/InternationalBusinessEconomics/SpecialisationStructure.htm?year=2014
2) International Business http://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/web/Faculties/SBE/TargetGroup/Education/Bachelor/InternationalBusiness/CourseDescriptions.htm
3) Econometrics and Operations Research http://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/web/Faculties/SBE/TargetGroup/Education/Bachelor/EconometricsAndOperationsResearch/CourseDescriptions.htm

Which course from 1 and 2 would be better?(because content of major is identical)
Also, could you comment such a statement that Econometrics looks more impressive to employer than Finance? Is that true?

Option 1 > 2 because from the name it has a focus on finance and economics, international business looks more just like management

econometrics is great and looks impressive because it you require strong analytical skills and is still highly relevant to finance
