Title Qualitative Research in Practice: Methods, Design and Analysis Lecturer Csongor Fényes Brief description The course introduces students to the principles and practice of qualitative empirical research in both domestic and international contexts. It provides an overview of key qualitative data collection and analysis methods used in social and opinion research, while also supporting students in preparing for their thesis and future research work. The seminar combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. Students will learn how to plan and conduct qualitative research and, by the end of the semester, will prepare and present a short research plan, screening questionnaire, and discussion/interview guide, either individually or in small groups. Students will also receive practical materials, including sample research plans, discussion guides, consent forms, screening questionnaires, analysis examples, transcription guidelines, and course presentations.
