About IPhO 2025
The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2025 is one of the most prestigious global competitions for high school students passionate about physics. Organized annually, it brings together young physicists from different countries to test their problem-solving skills through theoretical and experimental assessments.
Eligibility Criteria
- Students must be enrolled in high school and not have started university-level studies.
- Each country conducts national-level selections to form a team for IPhO.
- Participants must be under 20 years of age on June 30, 2025.
- Selection is typically based on national physics olympiads conducted by each country’s governing body.
Exam Pattern
The IPhO exam consists of two major rounds:
- Theoretical Exam (50%) – Advanced conceptual physics problems
- Experimental Exam (50%) – Hands-on practical experiments
Both exams are designed to test a deep understanding of physics principles and problem-solving abilities.
Syllabus for IPhO 2025
The syllabus is based on high school physics but extends to advanced topics, including:
- Mechanics – Newtonian mechanics, relativity, oscillations, and waves
- Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics
- Electromagnetism – Electric fields, circuits, and magnetism
- Optics and Wave Phenomena
- Modern Physics – Quantum physics, atomic structure, and nuclear physics
Registration Process
- Students must qualify through their national physics olympiads before advancing to IPhO.
- Registration is conducted by each country’s official science/education organization.
- The final list of selected participants is sent to the IPhO organizing committee.
Important Dates
- National Olympiad Registrations: Varies by country
- IPhO 2025 Final Event: Expected in July 2025
