Econometrics for Energy and the Environment (BENV0018)

The aim is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the econometrics from a theoretical perspective, give students familiarity with the analytic tools and methods, and enable them to apply taught concepts in the final dissertation and later in their work. The module will therefore generate knowledge of

* Theoretical foundation of econometrics and related assumptions, examples of how these approaches can be used in practice, strengths and limitations of different approaches.                              

At the end of the module, students should be able to:

*Understand the main concepts of the most important econometrics approaches used in the environmental and energy field; * Explain, discuss compare and criticise the different estimating methodologies and critically choose different approaches for applied studies.

Management of Major Programmes with Digital (BCPM0092)

The immense digital shift and the rising complexity are the underlying themes challenging major programme management practices. In this module, you will be introduced to the key systems theories used for major programme management while gaining a theoretically grounded understanding of how digitalisation and complexity are creating a shift in the management of major projects, programmes and portfolios. Through a mixture of self-study, workshops, seminars and industry speakers, you will develop your management abilities for complexity and digital management in major programmes, and learn how to research, justify, and analyse the factors that impact management of major programmes.

At the end of this module you will be able to:

Discuss theories and concepts of management of major programmes with digital as socio-technical systems.
	Demonstrate systems mindset and theoretical understanding of how to strategise and govern major and national programmes for a digital transformation.
	Discuss theoretical and practical aspects of the socio-technical systems, knowledge management, complexity, systems engineering and integration, and the importance of context and globalisation in the governance of mega-projects and major programmes.
	Apply system dynamics modelling and social network analysis for the analysis of major programmes.
	Apply the systematic literature review methods for analysing the programme management literature.
