The specialisation provides practical training in research methods, health economics, causal policy evaluation, and economic evaluation techniques. Through applied economic analysis, real-world policy applications, and a rigorous research project, students develop the expertise to assess policy interventions, evaluate healthcare systems, and apply advanced econometric methods to complex health and policy questions. Graduates will be well prepared for careers in academic research, government, the healthcare sector, and international organisations.
