This elective module will be available for students to complete in Year 2 of the online MSc in Dental Public Health, Policy and Leadership. It will start by giving students the theoretical basis for qualitative research. They will then journey through the stages of planning a qualitative study: setting research questions, selecting an appropriate study design and sampling strategy, gathering, analyzing and interpreting data and writing up findings. Students will learn how to critically appraise qualitative research. The module will conclude with qualitative research practice where students will develop a topic guide and pilot it on other students through peer learning. Five percent of the module mark will assess student engagment using a criterion-based rubric and QEngage.
