Programme description

Our PhD/MPhil Health Economics programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Health Economics.

Our main research themes within health economics apply or develop economic methods to understand

  • incentives and provider performance;
  • equity in healthcare and geographical resource allocation;
  • workforce planning and determinants of labour supply;
  • measurement and valuation of preferences for benefits of healthcare;
  • determinants of variation in healthcare costs and benefits;
  • economic evaluation of complex cross-therapeutic interventions;
  • utilisation of routinely collected data across health and social care to value costs and benefits in economic evaluation;
  • causal analysis of complex interventions, complex needs and less-regulated (mainly diagnostic) services;
  • innovative study design to take account of complexity in intervention design and increase in emphasis on integration of health and social care.

The research covers a number of clinical areas, including for example, ageing, mental health, precision medicine and patient safety.
