The MSc will help you: Develop your analytical and modelling abilities; Understand the principles of microeconomics applied to health and healthcare; Apply principles and methods of economic evaluation; Assess the principal theoretical models developed by economists to explain the healthcare sector; Understand and apply the advanced quantitative methods used in health economics and economic evaluation; Design, analyse and interpret economic evaluation research.
