Course description

Ever thought about making a mixed-methods study? Ever wanted to combine different data to provide a more wholistic understanding of a phenomenon? Designed for PhD students, this course provides in-depth knowledge of the mixed-methods research process. You'll learn to describe theoretical assumptions, identify and explain study designs, apply diverse sampling techniques, integrate qualitative and quantitative data, and ensure scientific quality. By the end of the course, you'll be equipped to apply mixed methods to your own research and critically review mixed-methods studies.
