How important is the course title? Can I lie?

When applying for my MSc course, I had the following choices:

MSc Economics - £5000

MSc - Finance, Economics & Business - £7200


Now I am hoping for a career in finance after.

By taking the Economics, I have the option to choose the three finance modules and the one business module making it the identical degree and saving £2200.

Can I say in my CV that I took MSc Economics with Finance and Business?

Or is that considered a lie?

I would put: Msc Economics (incl. Finance and Business modules) if applying to placements in finance, or just put it as a bullet point underneath. I'm sure plenty of people are successful in finance with economics degrees.

Most places will want to look at your transcript or at least have an idea of the modules you've done because all degrees are comprised of slightly different modules.

I would choose the economics route anyway, finance, economics and business sounds like a mish mash of everything. It doesn't sound like joint honours because as far as I'm aware, you can't do triple honours, it just sounds like you get a little bit of everything, rather than the full economics degree plus some finance background on the side.

Ps: many employers in the finance field favour economics degrees over financial ones. I study accountancy & finance joint honours and I would 100% be doing economics as my joint honours instead of finance if I got the same exemptions from my CA qualification in the future. I am seriously still toying with the idea of switching from finance to economics anyway.
