Course Description

This two-day in person course,  held in Oxford, 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.
