About The British Physics Olympiad

The British Physics Olympiad (BPhO) is a prestigious series of competitions designed to challenge and inspire young physicists in the UK. Established in 1979, it offers various levels of contests for students in years 11 to 13, including the Intermediate Physics Challenge, Senior Physics Challenge, and the Experimental Project.

The BPhO aims to encourage the study of physics and recognise excellence through these competitions, which also serve as qualifiers for the UK team in the International Physics Olympiad.
