HEMAP – Two-year Master programme in Health Economics, Management and Policy
The relevance to society of health care far exceeds the increasing economic prominence of this sector in the economy. Such a relevance calls for staff and executives in health care organizations to be aware of fundamental economic trade-offs, legal and regulatory restraints, ethical concerns affecting the organizational logic in this sector. HEMAP prepares students for staff and executive positions in companies, organizations, and institutions involved in health care provision. The programme aims at developing strong skills and expertise in the field of health economics and policy, health care management, health law and regulations. Students gain experience on the field through workshops, internships and active learning. They interact in a multidisciplinary environment with International students and professors and dedicated international mobility exchange opportunities. PROGRAMME CONTENT Learning activities are organized according to the following plan for 120 ECTS credits in total. The first semester is aimed at acquiring fundamentals of economics, management, law, policy design and evaluation, and research methods relevant to the health care sector. Second and third semesters are devoted to the development of advanced and specialized skills to address current issues in health care sector. The fourth semester is mainly dedicated to the preparation of the dissertation. Further specialization can be gained by an internship in prominent companies and organizations. Moreover, our prospective students can spend one or two semesters studying abroad. LEARNING OUTCOMES The prospective candidate will develop: knowledge of key options in the policy, planning and financing of health care services; ability to use disciplines required in formulating, implementing and evaluating strategic choices in health care; understanding of the diversity of international health policies; practical experience in managerial issues; strong quantitative skills and the ability to apply them in a problem-solving context; communication and co-operation skills. APPLICATIONS There are 3 application intakes per academic year: Intake 1: 13th January – 25th February 2026 Intake 2: 27th March – 29th April 2026 Intake 3: 27th May - 24rd June 2026
Health Economics, Management and Policy (HEMAP) is a curriculum of the Laurea Magistralis in Economics and Public Policy that uniquely combines economics, management and law to form professionals who will work in private and public organizations operating in the health care sector. The Department of Economics will award 4 merit-based grants (€ 4608 gross of taxes each) for newly enrolled students in the academic year 2026/2027.
PhD in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions – cycle 42 – a.a. 2026/2027
The PhD programme lasts three years; activities are generally conducted on campus and in English. Each post is endowed with a scholarship of about €16.243 gross per year. Each student is endowed with an additional budget of about €1.624 per year for research activities. The PhD programme is hosted by Department of Economics of the University of Insubria (located in Varese, Italy), which has been granted the Departments of Excellence award and funding plan for the period 2023 – 2027 by the ANVUR (Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes), ranking 8th among the Italian departments of economics and statistics. Topic and goals A substantial part of economic analysis centres on decision-making processes. Consumers and producers, workers and firms, banks and managers, households and policymakers are constantly making decisions that carry economic significance. Economists seek to understand, predict, or influence the processes underlying these decisions. The analysis of human decision-making draws on a range of methods and models, which vary considerably across different areas of economic research. For example, classical decision theory is largely rooted in mathematical modelling, whereas more recent developments in behavioural decision theory often employ experimental methods. Econometric techniques are used to examine the factors influencing specific decisions, such as those related to labour, transport, health, or charitable giving. Particular attention is also given to contemporary approaches in policy evaluation. Computational methods play a key role in simulating interactions among economic agents and in assessing the broader economic implications of those interactions. The PhD programme in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions equips early-career researchers with the skills to master the wide range of theoretical and applied approaches used in economics to analyse decision-making processes. Faculty The PhD Board includes faculty members of Insubria University as well as faculty members of other Italian and foreign universities. See the PhD webpages in English and Italian for the complete faculty list. Organization In the first year of the programme, students attend compulsory courses to acquire a broad set of research skills (from theory to data analysis), that allow them to tackle the complex phenomena related to decision making. During the second and third year of the programme, students focus on their own research under the supervision of one or more faculty members and participate in seminars and reading groups in their field of interest. See the training activities webpage for the complete list of courses. The programme strongly encourages students to spend part of their PhD period abroad and supports them in gaining international experience. The central goal of the programme is to create independent researchers, who can then pursue an academic career in leading universities or obtain research positions in private firms or international organizations. At the end of the third year, students submit their PhD dissertation, which is usually made of three research papers. The PhD courses in the next academic year will start in November 2026. Admission requirements The selection procedure is open to candidates who hold a master’s degree (Laurea Magistrale) or a 4-year Degree previous to the Ministerial Decree no. 509/1999 (Laurea quadriennale vecchio ordinamento), or equivalent academic title (master’s degree) obtained abroad, without age or citizenship restrictions. Graduands may conditionally access the selection procedure, provided that they obtain the required admission qualification by 31 October 2026, under penalty of exclusion in case of positive outcome of the selection procedure.
