Studying A Course in Econometrics Or Stochastic Modelling

Am currently looking at two MSc courses in Cass Business School: MSc Quantitative Finance or MSc Financial Mathematics. The former has courses in econometrics while the latter focuses more on stochastic modelling.

I have studied stochastic models at undergraduate level but have no experience in econometrics. Can somebody with experience tell me the benefits of this subject, and what careers it may open up in future?

IMO Econometrics is kind of a bs field. Have no clue about stochastic modeling though. That probably doesn't help though.
