We have also recently established our own Dundee Health Economics Group.

* Globalisation, Demographic Change and Health
* Growth, Employment and Competitiveness in a Knowledge Society
* Outsourcing, Foreign Direct Investment and Labour Markets

* Variations in Health and Health Care
* Socio-economic health inequalities
* Devolution and Inequality

English Language Requirements

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since April 2014 the ETS tests (including TOEFL and TOEIC) are no longer accepted for Tier 4 visa applications to the United Kingdom. The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa.

The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
