bsc economics or industrial economics

Im currently doing my ucas application for economics next year, and was thinking of applying to nottingham.
I saw they offer an industrial economics course with a year in industry which Ive never really seen before, and am unsure wether this would be a better choice for me over bsc economics for future prospects, or at least what the actual difference is?
(for context, after university id ideally like to go into banking/finance)

If you like a lot of maths and little to no coursework, choose bsc economics. If you like less maths but a lot of coursework and deadlines do industrial. Plus industrial isn’t on the main campus. They’re on Jubilee under the Business school. As for job prospects, I can’t tell you much about that. BSc Economics is great if you want to do a masters in economics later too
