Qualitative Methods

This course introduces the core principles, strategies, and approaches of qualitative research. Designed for students and professionals across the social sciences, health, education, and related fields, it provides a practical foundation in qualitative research design, sampling, data collection, coding, and analysis. Learners will explore common theoretical frameworks (such as interpretivism, symbolic interactionism, and grounded theory), and gain hands-on insight into techniques like inductive coding, thematic analysis, and reflexive thinking.

Through clear examples and step-by-step guidance, this course equips learners with the skills to design, conduct, and interpret rigorous qualitative studies. No prior experience with qualitative methods is required.
