Health Economics

Discover how economic theory helps shape better healthcare systems. The MSc Health Economics equips you to tackle today’s global health challenges - from rising costs to ageing populations - using real-world data and evidence-based tools. You’ll gain the skills to evaluate healthcare delivery, analyse policy, and make impactful decisions across industry, public service, and academia.

Normally a H2.1 degree (NFQ Level 8 or equivalent) with Economics. However, candidates with a significantly high H2.2 honours degree and who have achieved a 2.1 average in relevant Economics modules in a business degree, will also be considered. Applications for the full-time and part-time programmes are particularly welcomed from people working in the pharmaceutical or medical device sectors and from people working in the health policy or health care system sectors. Suitable applicants without a background in Economics will be offered an opportunity to take an online preparatory course before being accepted on the programme.
