Degree in Data science for a career in "high finance"

I got offered a pretty attractive scholarship to study DS at a target for "high finance". However I actually have personally always more leaned into economics and finance as my passion. 

In the UK the best offer I can get is a semi-target economics degree, decent degree in structure in terms of modules though

How do you guys see this situation? would you say that finance still reigns supreme as a way?

Data at a target or finance at semi=target?
