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.
