LPU-HRDC and School of Arts and Languages are organising a workshop on Qualitative Research Methodology scheduled to be held from 11th December to 14th December 2017.

“Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted.” – William Bruce Cameron

Qualitative Research methods provide an opportunity for systematic, in-depth evaluation of a question that may not be easily answered through quantitative methods. Qualitative Research allows investigators to develop a deeper understanding of a topic using methodologies such as focus groups, in-depth interviews and direct observation to investigate stakeholders attitudes, beliefs and performances – the how & why of decision making. For the ardent researchers keen to use a blend of qualitative & quantitative research methods, here is an opportunity to enhance Qualitative Research Skills.
