School: School of Health and Wellbeing, College of MVLS (Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences). This 1-year (full-time) Master of Public Health (MPH) with a Health Economics specialism is designed to equip students with core public health competencies alongside advanced knowledge and skills in economic evaluation and decision-making relevant to health. The program focuses on applying economic theory and techniques to health and healthcare issues, including the principles of health economics and methods of economic appraisal (e.g., cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-benefit analysis). It aims to prepare graduates to develop specialist and applied economic analyses that can inform health service delivery and public health policy, with the potential to be translated into real-world decisions and investments for population health improvement initiatives. Students will take four core MPH courses, plus an additional core course specific to Health Economics ("Health Economics for HTA online"), and focus their optional course selection and dissertation topic on health economics. The program may also be taken part-time (24, 36, or 48 months).

Graduates are highly sought after for roles that require expertise in economic evaluation and health policy within the public health sector. Career paths include: Health Economist, Health Technology Assessor, Health Policy Analyst, Public Health Planner, Researcher (focusing on economic evaluations), Healthcare Consultant, Commissioning Manager, and roles within NHS (e.g., Senior Finance Manager, Health Services Researcher), local authorities, government bodies (e.g., NICE, SMC), private industry (pharmaceutical/biotech companies), academia, and international health organizations (e.g., WHO). Some graduates also pursue PhDs. The University of Glasgow is a member of the UK's prestigious Russell Group, indicating research excellence.
