  We give a brief introduction to flavour physics. The first part covers the
flavour structure of the Standard Model, how the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism is
tested and provides examples of searches for new physics using flavour
observables, such as meson mixing and rare decays. In the second part we give a
brief overview of the recent flavour anomalies and how the Higgs can act as a
new flavour probe.
