This module will provide students with an introduction to qualitative research methods equipping students with the knowledge and skills to understand, design and conduct high quality qualitative research. There will be an introduction into the principles of qualitative research. You will then apply this knowledge by conducting interviews, running a focus group, performing data analysis. Finally using all this knowledge you will develop and present an electronic poster about a qualitative research idea.
