We will start the talk with the basic notion of group and discuss the meaning of a group being finitely generated and finitely presented. We then discuss the natural high dimensional analog of these and give an overview on the finiteness properties of groups. In particular, we will highlight some major problems in the area. At the end, I will also discuss some of my own work related to finiteness properties of groups. Part of this is joint work with Rachel Skipper.
