Aim and content
This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH.

Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrolment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list.

The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at NorDoc member faculties. All other participants must pay the course fee


Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Demonstrate in-depth and advanced understanding of different theoretical and analytical approaches to analyzing qualitative research material
2. Assess the appropriateness of specific analytical approaches for different qualitative research designs
3. Explain and demonstrate how a chosen analytical approach is consistent with a study, its problem, methodology, and research material
4. Compare and discuss different theoretical and scientific approaches, their possibilities and limitations


Content
This course aims to increase PhD students’ competencies in the analysis of qualitative research.
During the course, we will demonstrate how different knowledge traditions, theoretical frameworks and methodological premises influence one’s analytical results.
We will work in-depth with an array of relevant research traditions and analytic approaches – phenomenology, narrative theory, ethnography, discourse analysis etc - and especially focus on how to develop concepts, categories and distinct theoretical themes related to a chosen analytical pathway.
We will emphasize how analysis is a work in process that constitutes ongoing communication between several levels and phases of the research process, i.e. an interaction between method, data and theory that starts already from the first project idea.
A discussion of perspectives across traditions will be an ongoing part of the course.


Participants
PhD students and research-year medical students working on a research project based on qualitative methods. It is an advantage if participants have started data collection, but it is not a requirement. Sixteen seats will be available.


Relevance to graduate programmes
The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH:
- All graduate programmes


Language
English all course days if required by participants who do not speak Danish. Otherwise Danish.


Form
The course consists of eight research seminars. Seminar days are conducted as masterclasses with opening lectures and exercises. Participants will be given the opportunity to apply relevant analytic approaches to data provided by the lecturers, and we will work with the process of turning analysis into academic writing. The last course day will be a full workshop day with different approaches to reflecting on and discussing your PhD project. Work in groups, project presentations and preparation between seminars will be expected.
