The students on the programme come from a range of academic and professional backgrounds. The highlight of the programme was the 12-week internship which forms the basis of your dissertation. The support and teaching provided was second-to-none. The MSc in Health Economics has opened up opportunities that would never have been possible.

Applicants should normally hold a primary degree qualification from a university or other internationally recognised academic institution or authority, corresponding to Level 8 of the Irish National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ). A minimum standard of a Second Class Grade 1 Honours or equivalent: GPA of 3.3. This qualification must generally include the study of Economics up to an intermediate undergraduate level. Applications for the full-time and part-time programmes are particularly welcomed from people working in the pharmaceutical or medical device sectors and from people working in the health policy or health care system sectors. In such cases, applicants without a background in Economics will be offered an opportunity to take an online preparatory course before being accepted on the programme. IELTS score of 6.5 will be required for international applicants.
