Cs, Econ degrees

I am currently in year 13 and have been planning to study Economics at Uni for some time, I wanted to go down the route of Econometrics or Risk management. However, I also want to study Computer Science and gain programming skills to use within the Finance sector.
I would really like to study Econ, but i feel the skills in CS are just far more valuable.
I was thinking of studying an Undergraduate course in Economics with the plan of then doing a Masters in CS, but i dont know if this just a waste of an Econ degree. Should i just study either CS or Econ, or is the first option actually a reasonable option?

Also, i know St Andrews offer a Computer Science and Economics degree, but the chance i will receive an offer is so low. Does anyone know any other Cources similar to this at other Unis?
Thanks
If you want to learn programming skills then sign up to codeacademy courses. You don’t need a CS degree to code.
