Extend your qualitative analysis and writing abilities and confidence

This course extends practical and theoretical knowledge of qualitative research to provide advanced concepts and skills in qualitative data analysis and writing. You should have a basic understanding of qualitative research.

Course overview

In this course you will explore the principles of qualitative analysis, and learn about different analytic strategies and key analytic tools. You will learn how to develop codes and themes, use memos and analytic maps, and interpret data through the process of writing. You will learn about starting writing, structuring articles, making analytic arguments, and editing your own work.

Most importantly, we will consider what it means to think and write 'qualitatively'.

Important: This short course is a variant of the unit of study, Qualitative Analysis and Writing in Health (FMHU5004). It enables you to complete the unit without formal university enrolment.
