Health Economics (MSc)

How can high-quality healthcare be financed in the long term? What impact do health policy reforms have on patients, healthcare providers and payers? And how can decisions in the healthcare system be evaluated in a scientifically sound manner? The Master’s degree programme in Health Economics provides the economic and methodical skills needed to answer these and many other questions.

The research-oriented degree course combines modern economic and business approaches with the specifics of the healthcare system. The programme focuses on the analysis of health systems, the evaluation of health policy measures and the investigation of supply and financing structures. Students acquire in-depth knowledge of health economic research, empirical methods and evidence-based policy advice.

Graduates qualify for demanding jobs at health insurance companies, ministries, associations, research institutes, consulting companies, hospitals and international organisations. Successful completion of the Master’s examination also entitles students to pursue a doctorate and opens up a wide range of career paths at the interface of business, health and science.
