NExT PhD School - 2023-2024 & 2024-2025

2023-24 & 2024-25

Course Summary

In 2023-24 & 2024-25, we are running PhD training covering some core courses (Symmetries, QFT1-3, SM) in dual mode, i.e. alongside the usual video-delivery across the NExT nodes, we will offer course recordings and weekly Q&A/Tutorial sessions.

Below are the NExT PhD School courses offered so far for the 2023-24 & 2024-25 academic years. More will become available in due course and will be posted here.

We also post here lecture recordings from past academic years, as additional optional material

The link on each course gives access to the course syllabus. From there, NExT PhD students will be able to access each course's learning material. This includes the lecture notes and the lecture recordings.
