The basic ingredients of the Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Phenomenon and of the Higgs Mechanism are reviewed in these lectures of pedagogical character. Some relevant topics related with the breaking \gs → U(1)\rm em are selected and discussed here. A brief survey of the experimental Higgs particle searches and the theoretical limits on \mh are also presented. The main features of the most popular models of symmetry breaking beyond the Standard Model are briefly considered. It includes a short summary of the Higgs Sector in the Minimal SUSY Model, the basic ideas of Technicolor models and a brief introduction to Strongly Interacting Scalar sectors and to the Effective Chiral Lagrangian Approach to the Electroweak Theory.
