Which online course is the best for learning QFT?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on identifying the best online introductory course for Quantum Field Theory (QFT) aimed at university-level physicists. David Tong's course, available at this link, is highly recommended for its comprehensive notes and video lectures. Additionally, Oliver Rosten's lectures on the exact renormalization group, found at this link, are also noted as valuable resources. The subjective nature of "best" is acknowledged, yet user feedback can help guide choices.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Classical Mechanics (CM)
  • Familiarity with Quantum Mechanics (QM)
  • Knowledge of Relativity
  • Basic proficiency in online learning platforms
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore David Tong's QFT course materials and video lectures
  • Review Oliver Rosten's lectures on the exact renormalization group
  • Investigate additional QFT resources on platforms like Coursera or edX
  • Join online forums or study groups focused on QFT for peer support
USEFUL FOR

University-level physicists seeking to deepen their understanding of Quantum Field Theory, particularly those transitioning from different fields of study.

I'm looking for a good online introductory course in QFT for physiscists (i.e. at university level, for someone who already has the basics of CM, QM and relativity, but for one reason or another worked in completely different fields). I see there are several courses online, but it is not so easy to judge which is the best. Does someone has a suggestion?

I forgot to write: I mean *video* online course, where the professor elaborates on the blackboard or a presentation (e.g. on YouTube).

Yes, I know it is about a subjective impression, but sometimes a really good course obtains more thumbs up...
 
The stuff to which I linked has links both to written notes, and to video lectures.
