Quantum field theory (QFT), the language of particle physics, holds immense importance in a physicist's graduate education. This book, based on lecture notes taught at Radboud University in the Netherlands, presents an alternative approach to teaching QFT through the use of Feynman diagrams. By employing a diagrammatic approach, young physicists are introduced to the theory in an orthogonal manner, which opens up new avenues for understanding the field's challenges. The book employs didactical techniques using Feynman diagrams, starting from simple discussions in lower dimensions and progressing to more complex topics in the Standard Model. Accompanied by worked examples and exercises, with solutions available online, the book aims to foster a deep understanding and intuition that enhances the reader's problem-solving skills and comprehension of QFT. Having undergone classroom testing, this accessible book is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers alike.
