Economics or Business?

I'm finishing my high school this year and I basically have two choices: do an undergraduate in Economics at university or go for a 5 year degree at business where you specialise later on (accounting, management, etc..)


 

A 5yr degree at business? Is this a UK thing or something?

Aren't their programs generally 3 years (England I think primarily, Scotland is 4 years)?

If the 5 year business degree lets you walk out with an MBA, I’d recommend against it.

Yeah exactly.
