LSE BSc Economics or LSE BSc Finance

Hi. I recently received an offer to study BSc economics at LSE and was wondering if it would be worth asking to switch to BSc finance, as my aim is to land a high finance role in the future, particularly in IB / PE / HF. I was wondering if it would make any difference doing so, and if maybe one degree had an advantage over another in terms of recruitment, employment etc.
