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.
.
are they both grande Ecole's?
how longs the economics degree?
I'd do business personally but depends what you want to do
you'll have more intern opps with 5 year degree
.
whats the goal?
the French ive seen come in as interns in PE and private credit usually are grand ecole, having done 5 year degrees with masters, and typically come in a bit older, like age 24-27, id guess
