| Course description | Health economics applies economic thinking to the analysis of health and health care. The course covers the core topics of health economics. It is not necessary to have studied health economics previously to benefit from this module and it will complement a broad range of other options. The course emphasises a participative and cooperative approach to learning, and so you will be expected to both present material and contribute to group work. |
