BPT-China 2025
A student-run physics tournament built to feel like real science: collaborative, conceptual, and a little chaotic.
Built by
UC Berkeley
Our problems prioritize physical intuition, clear reasoning, and explanation over formula memorization.
Students work in teams, reflecting how physics is actually done.
Problems are inspired by undergraduate physics at UC Berkeley, offering a genuine taste of what comes next.
We want to make physics competitions more accessible, more thoughtful, and more reflective of real scientific practice. BPT is designed to reward curiosity, creativity, and communication, not just speed or rote memorization.
The Berkeley Physics Tournament is organized entirely by undergraduate members of the Berkeley Society for Physics Students (SPS).
From writing problems to running logistics, everything is done by students who care deeply about physics education.
Real students.
Real challenges.
Real physics.
