The Health Economics Group is very active in training up enthusiastic individuals to become practising health economists.
Our successful MSc programme has been running since 2009 and includes both fulltime (1 year) and part-time (2 or 3 year) options. We also offer a postgraduate diploma for those wishing to gain some basic training in the subject.
Core components of our course equip you with the basic toolkit of economics and how to apply it to the health care sector at both a macro (whole-systems) and micro (individual) level. You will also learn the principles of economic evaluation, variants of which are used by many health care agencies around the world to determine the value for money of different health care interventions.
A variety of optional modules will give you a rounded degree allowing you to embark on a career in health economics, or alternatively prepare you for further study with a PhD.
Finally, all MSc students are required to complete their studies with a research dissertation. Under the guidance of an experienced member of our group, this is an opportunity to undertake some research on a live topic to contribute to the field as well as completing your degree course.
