Introductory Lectures on Topological Quantum Field Theoryby Nils Carqueville, Ingo Runkel - arXiv.org
These notes offer a lightening introduction to topological quantum field theory in its functorial axiomatisation assuming no or little prior exposure. We highlight the algebraic formulation emerging from a formal generators-and-relations description.

Introduction to Renormalisationby Joao F. Melo - arXiv
These are introductory lectures aimed at beginning graduate students covering fundamental concepts and ideas behind the renormalisation group. Our main goal is to motivate it and then explore its consequences, in the context of quantum field theory.
