About

This course introduces you to the wide range of functions of MAXQDA24, a software for the analysis of qualitative data. This is an introductory course which doesn't require prior knowledge of the software, although a basic familiarity with qualitative research methods, particularly the process of 'coding' is highly beneficial.

You will get the most out of the course if you bring your own data in the form of Word or PDF files, but multimedia files can also be included in the course. You will need to bring your own laptop (Windows or MAC) to follow the course. A software license is provided for the duration of the course.
