Our research degree in Health Economics gives you independence to specialise in a topic of your choice. Your degree will provide you with rigorous training in health economics, and how this impacts health service decision-making. During your study, you’ll receive support and guidance from leading academics in the discipline.
Your research
In your first year, you'll take two assessed modules while also beginning work on your research project. These taught modules will challenge you to think critically about complex economic problems, and how to apply quantitative methods to the understanding of economic structures and interactions.
Distance learning available.Applicants to the PhD in Health Economics are usually required to hold a Bachelors degree in Economics with a 2:1 or 1st class honours (or overseas equivalent), and an MSc in Health Economics, Economics, or a closely related discipline, with a high average mark (60% or above, including at least 60% in the dissertation component).
