OBJECTIVES: To investigate the content of Masters Degrees for health economists, measuring and evaluating the perceived importance of their constituent modules. METHODS: Universities in the UK were identified using higher education funding data on all institutions which received nationally allocated funding. Potentially relevant post-graduate courses were systematically identified directly from institutions’ own websites using a pre-defined search strategy. Results were screened using inclusion/exclusion criteria, with eligibility assessed based on a detailed examination of the course curricula and syllabuses. Module level data were extracted and codified using a recursive algorithm to enable data analysis. A questionnaire was developed using the module data and an online survey was sent to 100 industry professionals via the LinkedIn professional social network. RESULTS: Economic Evaluation/Cost-effectiveness Modelling; (2) Health Economics/Pharmacoeconomics; (3) Epidemiology; (4) Health Services Research Methods; and (5) Health Policy & Regulations
