It introduces economists to the basic concepts of epidemiology, bioethics and decision analysis, and trains participants in research methods by having them undertake a project during their placement at an approved institution. Applicants must have qualified for a pass degree with a major in economics, or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution.
The postgraduate diploma consists of four core subjects, three elective subjects plus a three month Industry based learning placement, which normally takes place during the summer semester. It is normally completed in two semesters of full-time study or four semesters of part-time study.
