The course is intended for anyone with a technical or scientific background who would like to become familiar with the principles of accelerator design. The level of the course is chosen with the intention of preparing those with no specialist knowledge of accelerator theory for the CERN Accelerator School but is also of interest to a much wider audience. The series of eight talks span all aspects of circular machines and cover in a simple way the principles of focusing, betatron motion, dispersion, chromaticity, radio-frequency systems, phase stability and beam instabilities..
