Syllabus

The SM & its accidental symmetry structure, plus technical naturalness & the LEP paradox & some Higgs physics.
Supersymmetry some basics & phenomenology.
Extra dimension physics with emphasis on warped models & composite Higgs.
Collider phenomenology.
If time permits: relaxion stuff and other recent developments.
