The programme provides students with solid training in applied micro-econometric methods, enabling them to assess empirical work and gain first-hand experience in conducting empirical research. It is embedded in a dynamic academic environment firmly integrated into the international health economics research community. Notably, the Faculty is home to CINCH, a national research centre for health economics, which has developed into a prominent European hub for health economics research over the past 15 years. Students in this programme have access to numerous academic activities, such as a weekly research seminar on health economics, the Essen Health Conference--a leading international conference for applied research in health economics--and the annual CINCH-dggö academy for graduate students from around the world. Programme Structure The M.Sc. Health Economics programme is structured to provide a well-rounded and in-depth education through a blend of compulsory modules, elective courses, seminars, and a master’s thesis.
