Students Econ vs Econ & Maths for Spring Week/Internship Apps

Hello Guys,

I think I'm going to miss my UCL offer. I've rang Bristol and they say I can do either pure Economics, or joint Economics and Maths (50/50 split).

How much emphasis, if any at all, with HR/Recruitment put on the STEM content of my degree? I'd probably be more interest in a pure Economics degree; however, I think I'll cope fine with either.

I don't plan on going into an algo-trading/highly quantitive finance, so the extra maths won't be of any particular use to me.

Do you think HR put any emphasis on it? I'd be applying for M&A in particular.

Thanks

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
