Summary:
The lectures will focus on electroweak results from LEP using data collected between 1989 and 2000. The measurements include the Z mass and width, the number of light neutrino species, and the W mass.
These and other results can be compared with the predictions of the Standard Model in a global electroweak fit to test the consistency of the theory, and give an estimate of the mass of the elusive Higgs boson. Finally, the results of the direct search for the Higgs boson will be discussed.

Prerequisite knowledge:
"The lectures will remind you about the relevant aspects of the Standard Model theory, although it will be useful to have followed the relevant theoretical lectures."
