Methods in Participatory Health Research I - Module BM5055

This 12-week, Level 9 micro-credential introduces the core principles and methods of participatory health research (PHR), helping you design meaningful projects that involve non-academic stakeholders at every stage.

During the module, you will build practical skills in participatory learning and action (PLA) methods, research co-design, and collaborative analysis.

You’ll learn how to select the right design for your project, involve partners in planning and data collection, and create ethical, inclusive approaches to knowledge generation.

Whether you're working with patients, advocacy groups, or community organisations, this module will give you the tools and confidence to conduct research that is collaborative, respectful and impactful.

This module is associated with the Professional Diploma in Participatory Health Research. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
