Contents and Overview

This course is structured into seven clear modules that guide you through the process of building and presenting your research methodology. You’ll start with the basics—what methodology is and why it matters—before exploring it through the lens of Saunders’ Research Onion for a holistic understanding.

We then walk you through the main approaches: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. You’ll learn the key differences, when to use each, and how to align them with your research questions and goals. You'll find additionally three real-life student use cases that aim to justify why each student has decided to use one of the three main approaches.

Later modules focus on writing your methodology chapter and presenting your results clearly and effectively.
