What uni degree would put me in a better position in trying to go into a Macro Hedge Fund?

Hi guys this is my first post on the forum and sorry if this against any community guidelines. I'm currently in school and I have done work experience at a Macro Hedge Fund twice (just researching commodities, small caps and currencies). I enjoyed every minute of it and I got a long with all the guys. I plan to go back there and they gave me my own email so I guess they like me.

So I thought I'd ask what Uni degree/s would be the best in order to get into Macro driven funds? I know accounting is a must but I'm not sure if I should do Economics or Applied Finance with a degree in accounting as well.

What do you guys think would be the best degrees to do?
