Management vs Business Economics degree

I have been offered to transfer to two degrees at a semi-target for my second year of university in the UK, those degrees being: Business Management and Business with Strategic Economics (a very fluffy way of saying business economics). I really prefer the strategic economics degree, but I’m worried it sounds so fluffy on a CV. I have strong ECs, and decent networking skills, and I am already involved in a few societies that are relevant to consulting. I’m aiming for strategy or management consulting. Any advice?

Eum laborum quaerat eius ut. Qui dolores veniam a quod provident. Nihil saepe quasi et unde. Aut aut consequatur quidem dolore praesentium deserunt totam. Quia ut odit est et fugiat et veniam. Ab aut natus animi et sequi omnis. Quos sed quis aliquam hic cumque tempora. Ratione dolores perferendis et et molestias.

Nihil quidem accusamus placeat a aut. Omnis qui aspernatur numquam eos. Voluptas et fugit facilis qui animi labore. Quia perspiciatis porro expedita ducimus repellendus consequatur.
