Qualitative Health Research

Overview

This course will enable you to design and conduct your own qualitative research with confidence. By focusing on the philosophical origins of qualitative research and its appropriateness in answering different types of research question, the course offers a framework in which to assess credibility in qualitative research design, which can then be applied to your work.  

There is a particular emphasis on using reflexive understanding as a means of generating theoretically informed and practically grounded qualitative research. This mix of theoretical and practical debate is a particular feature of the course and all aspects of research design, along with a range of qualitative techniques are discussed.
