This Introduction to NVivo for Qualitative and Mixed-Methods Analysis course offered by University of Surrey provides a comprehensive introduction to NVivo for qualitative and mixed-methods research. Participants learn how to efficiently set up projects, organise and manage data, explore research materials, develop analytical structures, and use software tools to support rigorous qualitative analysis. The course combines discussions, demonstrations, guided instruction, and practical exercises to build confidence in using NVivo across different stages of a research project.
