NVivo is a software program used for qualitative and mixed-methods research. Specifically, it is used for the analysis of unstructured text, audio, video, and image data, including (but not limited to) interviews, focus groups, surveys, social media, and journal articles. The University of Northampton supply this for free for students and staff. You can access the files to download and install on the Student Hub, along with the authorisation code that you will need. There are options to install NVivo for Widows or Apple devices.
