Course Description

This two-day online course introduces the principles and practice of qualitative data analysis, with emphasis on thematic analysis.

Over two days our approachable and research-active experts will show that analysis is achievable through an accessible step-by-step process, and will provide de-identified data for you to work with. Day one begins by looking at organising data (coding, categorising and theme development); day two explores 'finding a story' and developing your analysis to translate to a research paper or thesis chapter.

We aim to support those who are planning to undertake or manage qualitative research using in-depth or semi-structured interviews or qualitative observational data, and those who have started to collect qualitative data which they are unsure how to analyse. The thematic analysis approach used is also applicable to other kinds of qualitative data including observation, diaries, and other text sources. While the course is aimed at the needs of health and care professionals, researchers, academics and postgraduate students, the skills developed here apply to many settings - please ask us if you are unsure whether Analysing Qualitative Data is the course for you.

Additional Information

The University of Oxford's expert-led programme of short courses in qualitative research methods aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to design, conduct, and interpret qualitative research. Through these short courses we share the experience, knowledge and enthusiasm of our research-active tutors.

Our courses are particularly suited to those who are planning or working on projects with a qualitative research component. Our aims are to:

Equip health and care professionals, researchers and policy makers with an understanding of the different approaches to qualitative research
Support the development of core skills such as qualitative interviewing, ethnographic observation, running focus groups (whether virtual or face-to-face), collecting and analysing recordings of naturally-occurring data using conversation analytic methods, and qualitative data analysis.

This highly-regarded programme is delivered in online and face-to-face formats to suit a range of learners. We use a mixture of lectures and small group work, delivered by our team of qualitative researchers from the University of Oxford’s Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group. Our group has run these successful courses for over twenty years alongside active involvement in qualitative research on a variety of topics, ranging from studies of experiences of health conditions and of healthcare practice, to evaluations of organisational change. Our group also includes qualitative methodologists at the forefront of developing qualitative methods including conversation analysis and evidence synthesis.

Findings from our group’s research on patient experiences, together with supported video, audio and text extracts, can be found on the HEXI.ox.ac.uk website. Our portfolio of research and expertise informs current local, national and international healthcare policy and research.

The syllabuses of our qualitative courses draw on a wide range of expertise from within our research group, including the disciplinary areas of medical sociology, anthropology, and public policy.
