HEALT7000 Qualitative Health Research
This course will enable students to explore and discuss qualitative research and the specific paradigms associated with contemporary qualitative research. The theoretical standpoints that qualitative researchers adopt according to the nature of the research question to be answered will be identified including interpretative, postmodern, constructivism, and critical approaches. Students will explore the processes involved in planning a qualitative research project. Students will learn about a variety of research designs that describe and give meaning to life experiences such as phenomenology, ethnography, and grounded theory. Research methods that include qualitative sampling, data collection methods and data analysis techniques will also be explored and consideration given to the place of qualitative theory within the mixed method research paradigm. The principles and practices of establishing trustworthiness and/or rigour in qualitative research will be identified and discussed.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,157
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,157
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
