Economics of Appraisal of Construction Projects (BCPM0005)

Studying this module, you will develop and explore important appraisal techniques commonly used in practice by both the private and public client.

It is understood that the ultimate function of project management is to help project investors create value from a set project. A sound appraisal is therefore the key to ensuring a completed project would deliver value. To this end, the module equips you with the ability to apply up-to-date appraisal techniques in the evaluation of real-life projects, this will include Monte Carlo simulation method and qualitative analysis.

On completion of the module, you must have achieved the following:

Advanced skills in the application of the net present value (NPV) approach and in understanding its limitations
	Transaction costs and the profitability of projects
	A qualitative analysis of project profitability
	Understanding of the Monte Carlo simulation method and its limitations
	Application of the Monte Carlo simulation method to the analysis of a real-life project

Understanding Cities and their Spatial Cultures (BASC0010)

Students will be asked to reflect upon cities as generative of complex, intersecting infrastructures for the circulation of people, objects and information and constitutive of urban life itself. The module helps students to describe, analyse and understand the nature of life in cities from historical and contemporary perspectives, while looking ahead to a range of possible urban futures. The course is structured around three overarching themes: 'histories and futures of the modern city', 'investigating and representing the urban', and 'cities and networks'.
