About BPhO
The British Physics Olympiad (BPhO) Round 1 is one of the UK’s most prestigious physics competitions. Sat in November, it is a two-hour paper in two sections — short-answer questions in Section 1 and longer thematic problems in Section 2 — that applies the full AS and A2 physics syllabus in unfamiliar, problem-solving contexts. Top performers are invited to Round 2 and, ultimately, selection for the UK team at the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO).
