Degrees offering more flexibility than is obvious from the title

DC has just discovered Mathematical Sciences at Southampton which allows you to take non-maths modules. And I don't mean something close like CS or economics. Are there any other maths degrees which offer flexibility which really isn't obvious from the title?

Aware of LANS, and Birmingham is a great place to study. Have a nagging doubt about whether you have to keep justifying yourself, "yes, ignore the title, I actually did a maths degree really with a couple of wildcards thrown in. Promise."

The American liberal arts concept of a degree is the wave of the future.

You can see the trend developing in front of your eyes, with the PM's pronouncements about a broader range of subjects as an equivalent of A levels, and several very well regarded universities adopting liberal arts degrees.
