Webinar: Dissertation projects – Introduction to secondary analysis for qualitative and quantitative

The UK Data Service are offering a free webinar for undergraduates and postgraduates who are using secondary data analysis in their research projects.

The free webinar takes place on 26th May 2020, but if you can’t attend then, it will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube afterwards.

Organised by the UK Data Service, the webinar will take you through the research process of a secondary analysis project, which includes an overview of the methodological, ethical, and procedural issues.

If you are a postgraduate looking for a project to do this summer that doesn’t involve face-to-face contact, or an undergraduate student trying to evaluate options for next year’s dissertation, this webinar will give you options to ensure you get valuable research experience during your degree.

This is an introductory webinar which assumes no prior experience of using archived data.

Presenter: Maureen Haaker
