Designing health policies for a healthier and equitable future

Spatial and Applied Economics: Health Economics and Policy

Improve Lives with Health Economics and Policy

As a graduate of the Health Economics and Policy specialisation you are well-prepared for a career in both public policy, working for ministries, public health authorities, and private healthcare actors like hospitals, insurers, advisory bodies, and international organisations. You will typically start working as a policy advisor or consultant, tackling major challenges such as rising health expenditures, mental health burdens, aging populations, and health inequalities. Your work will help design effective, equitable, and sustainable health policies with real-world impact. Most graduates find jobs within 3 months and are better paid than graduates from other economics programmes. 

Beyond the field of health, this programme equips you with a versatile set of analytical and quantitative skills that open doors to a wide range of career paths. Your training is highly valued in consultancy, finance, government, and international institutions.
