This fall's Delta ITP Course Advanced Topics in Theoretical Physics is built around the general theme of Modern Methods in Theoretical Physics. The course is divided into three 5-week modules, which will cover the Renormalization Group, Beyond LCDM and Machine Learning.

Each module consists of four lectures and exercise sessions. Lectures will take place on Mondays at 11:15 - 13:00, followed by a study/exercise session from 13:45 - end. At the end of the module there is an exam. All exams are pass/fail, and you need to pass all three exams to receive credit for the course.
