Overview
In this Masters-level online short course, you’ll learn how economic evaluations are conducted and how they can be used to inform the efficient allocation of scarce health care resources.
Careers
There is a shortage of health economists in Scotland, the UK and internationally, and a lack of health economics knowledge and skills.

As a health researcher or professional working in health, government, academia, or the pharmaceutical industry, you’ll gain:
- in-demand economic evaluation skills
- the knowledge and confidence to interpret and apply economic evaluation data
- the ability to use economic evaluation tools in your organisation to aid value-based decision making
Programme Structure

- Collecting and analysing cost-effectiveness data alongside randomised controlled trials
- Decision modelling in economic evaluation
