HERON sponsors ScHARR MSc
We would like to congratulate Ian Jacob for winning the Heron scholarship to undergo the University of Sheffield MSc Health Economics and Decision Modelling programme in the 2009-2010 academic year.
The MSc in Health Economics and Decision Modelling is the only Masters programme in the UK with a specific focus on the practical application of mathematical modelling to inform healthcare decision problems. It aims to bridge the gap between the underlying theory and application of mathematical modelling for decision making and more traditional health economics. The course aims to:
- Equip students with a professional level analytical skill-base required to evaluate and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare systems for which they have responsibility
- Provide an in-depth understanding of current state-of-the-art methods for mathematical modelling to support and inform evidence-based healthcare decision problems
- Provide a firm grounding for students wishing to pursue research degrees in health economics and mathematical modelling
