What is the difference between these two degrees? Do any of them have a stronger significance than the other in terms of job applying?

Maths and Economics is 50% Maths and 50% Economics. Whereas, Maths with Economics is 75% Maths and 25% Economics. Both courses lead to excellent opportunities career wise or for research. 🙂

omds sorry i completely forgot! yes its 75 maths 25 econ but one thing is you cant switch to any courses there so you cant go to maths and econ which is 50/50- everyone who does maths with another subject has the same maths classes though so those lecture sizes are massive
