19-20 PR5923: Theories and Qualitative Approaches in Politics and International Relations

This course aims to provide an introduction to core qualitative approaches in politics and international relations for students on the MSc Politics and International Relations programme who choose this disciplinary training pathway. Students will consider the various qualitative techniques available for conducting search research, the range of decisions qualitative researchers face, and the trade-offs researchers must consider when designing qualitative research. They will, then, apply these methods in the workshop sessions.
