Master of Science in Health Economics and Econometrics
Program Overview
The MSc in Health Economics and Econometrics is ideal for new graduates hoping to pursue a career in health economics or for those currently working in the health care sector who wish to develop skills in health economics.
This programme gives you the opportunity to follow a more econometrics based pathway underpinned by microeconomic theory, while taking the core modules required to study Health Economics (Economic Evaluation and Modelling for Health Care Decision Making).
The programme is targeted at those with an undergraduate economics-based degree and a desire to obtain a technical training relevant for a career in which these skills can be applied to the health care sector nationally and internationally. With its blend of applied health economic modules and specialist economic modules, the MSc in Health Economics and Econometrics is ideal for individuals wishing to embark on a career as a health economist in industry, the health service or academia. This is an area identified as a priority for the health service and health economists with these skills are in short supply.
The MSc in Health Economics and Econometrics is hosted by the Health Economics Unit in collaboration with the Department of Economics.
The MSc Health Economics and Econometrics aims to:
- Provide a high quality programme examining health issues from an economics perspective, to provide you with an advanced technical training, and to enable you to develop your analytical skills for use in health economics.

- Provide you with an understanding of the theoretical and historical foundation of health economics
- Develop your skills in the application of research evidence in the field of health economics
