MSc Economic Evaluation in Health Care

This course is designed to meet the demand for increased quantitative and analytical skills in the area of health care management.

Economic issues involved in health care are recognised in all countries to be of great importance. The continuing growth of both public and private health care sectors means that there is a large and growing demand for health economics expertise. Moreover, understanding the resource issues and the ways in which economics can help to analyse them is increasingly necessary for health professionals, whether clinical, in health services management or in health care related industries.

This course is designed to meet a demand for economic evaluation skills in the health care sector. In keeping with the University's aims to provide high quality, professionally relevant education, the course offers a course of training both in the conceptual bases for economic evaluation and in advanced quantitative methods relevant to health care decision making.
