The program will appeal to those who want to move into the field of public health, as well as those who already work within a public health or health related field and are preparing for advancement in their organisation or field, or seeking to broaden their knowledge and skill set. Within the course students are exposed to the core foundations of public health theory and practice and also have the opportunity to specialise in the advanced public health training specialisations offered through the University of Melbourne. The Master of Public Health programs at the University of Melbourne are delivered by academic staff with extensive experience and depth of knowledge, who are leaders in their chosen fields of public health.<br><br>Students taking subjects from this specialisation will be trained to apply economic theory and analytic tools to address public health problems. The specialisation equips students with essential knowledge and skills in microeconomics to allow them to analyse and discuss key policy issues in public health from an economic perspective. Within this specialisation students will learn how to interpret and apply economic evidence, they will also have the opportunity to develop the skills to conduct their own health economics research. They may focus on developing skills and knowledge necessary to evaluate whether new interventions or services offer value for money (through Economic Evaluation 1 and 2) and/or to scrutinize public health policies and health care systems (through Health Economics 1 and 2). The skills and knowledge developed in this stream will help students understand and lead in areas of resource allocation including public health management and policy making. These skills can be applied in an Australian and international setting. Possible roles in the field of health economics include health analysist, health economist, health economics project officer, policy advisor, pharmacoeconomic or market access analyst, clinical audit, health economics research assistant, research fellow and PhD student. Future roles which either directly or indirectly involve health care resource allocation and budgeting will benefit from the analytical skills and expertise developed within both health economics and economic evaluation.
