Program overview
A research master in the economics of healthcare, covering economic evaluation, health technology assessment, econometrics and a substantial supervised research project.
Bangor runs health economics as both an MPhil and this Master of Research, and the two differ in structure rather than in subject.
Master of Research in Health Economics is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the health economics research master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the health economics research master, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the health economics research master plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the health economics research master does not support a family move.
Applicants to Master of Research in Health Economics need a completed bachelor degree with a minimum of 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the health economics research master is recorded at GBP 20,000. Bangor charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the health economics research master. The health economics research master lists three entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the health economics research master application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
