This is summary of three lectures on neutrino physics at the CERN school in Evora, Portugal, for experimental PhD students. There is a brief review of neutrino interactions in the Standard Model, Majorana and Dirac mass terms, oscillations in vaccuum and matter for 2 generations, the leptonic unitarity triangle and 3 generation mixing, and bounds on the the absolute neutrino mass scale. Follows a few topics going beyond the physics of three light active neutrinos: an introduction to a few seesaw models for Majorana masses, and leptogenesis in the type I seesaw.
