The British Physics Olympiad started at 1979. 1983 was officially selected for the British national team to participate in the international physics competition. The organizing committee of British Physics Olympiad is mainly composed of Oxford University, British Physics Society and Odgen Foundation, and its office is located in the Physics Department of Oxford University. The British Physics Olympiad attaches great importance to the flexible application of physics knowledge, and all the test questions are proof questions.

Students need to use their own physical knowledge to complete the challenge, which involves a wide range of knowledge points. The exam does not require students to complete all the questions, but encourages students to choose what they are good at according to their interests and scope of study. Excellent players of British nationality will represent Britain to form the national team to participate in international physics olympiad.

BPhO is the first round of trials for the British Physical Olympic National Team, which is also the preliminaries. Players who win the super gold in BPhO are eligible to advance to the next round of semi-finals, namely Round2. Since BPhO 1 is the primary selection of the British Physics Olympic National Team, its main purpose is to select top physics competitors for the national team, which is much more difficult than the British Physics Challenge Series, and the examination scope is far beyond the British A-Level physics curriculum outline.

For those students who regard Oxford and Cambridge as their dream school, winning the super gold medal or gold medal in BPhO 1 can undoubtedly prove their outstanding talent in physics, so they are more likely to be favored by Oxford and Cambridge University.

For students who are very interested in physics, BPhO competition can not only consolidate and expand physical knowledge, deepen the difficulty of learning, but also cultivate excellent physical literacy, thus benefiting them for life.
