Master of Public Health in Health Economics

Program Overview

You’ll be taught by Victoria’s leading public health professionals, hospital clinicians and global health experts. With strong links to The Alfred hospital, part of your learning will take place in the Alfred Research Alliance precinct in the heart of Melbourne. Delivered through a combination of online and block-mode teaching, our Master of Public Health provides the quality and recognition of a Monash graduate degree with the flexibility required by working professionals.

You can customise your studies to reflect your career interests by choosing electives in clinical research methods, epidemiology and biostatistics, disease and injury prevention and control and health promotion, global health and human rights, health economics, health policy, planning and management, and occupational and environmental health.


Specialisation: Health Economics
In this stream, you will gain an understanding of healthcare finance, health program evaluation and health technology assessment. In the context of currently rising demand for healthcare and increasingly limited budgets, you will develop decision-making skills for evaluating the trade-offs among quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare services, including evaluating the impact of changes in care on individual- and population-level health and financial well-being. Health economists play a key role in resource allocation decisions in health delivery and regulation. Health economic skills are currently in high demand and graduates of this stream can foresee a career in health economics departments in universities government and industry.
