About the Course
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Senior Physics Challenge (SPC) Prep Course is designed for advanced students aiming to excel in the Senior Physics Challenge by the British Physics Olympiad (BPhO). This course delves into A-level physics topics, emphasizing analytical reasoning, mathematical modelling, and conceptual understanding. It combines interactive lessons, past paper analysis, and advanced problem-solving strategies to prepare participants for this prestigious competition and future challenges such as the British Physics Olympiad Round 1. Aligned with the AS-level Physics syllabus, it dedicates 75% of class time to curriculum topics and 25% to SPC-specific preparation. Ideal for aspiring engineers, the course enhances university applications to top institutions like Oxford and Cambridge.
