Abstract
These lectures contain an introduction in string theory with emphasize towards phenomenological applications. We present in particular the basis of orientifold constructions, the compactification from ten to four dimensions, intersecting brane world models, mechanisms for supersymmetry breaking, moduli stabilisation and the large extra dimensions models. Part I by Marios Petropoulos is devoted to basic techniques of perturbative string theory.
