Abstract:

Under the new requirements of the new century，general physics coureses in university

need to be reformed. As the birthplace of modern universities，physics coureses in

European universities are examples that should be referred to. In this paper the setting of

physics courses and their credits in high-level universities in Eu- rope are investigated. The

statistical results show that physics courses are still the basic general courses for most sci-ence disciplines in most universities. For different disciplines，more flexible and reasonable settings might be the di- rection of future reformation of general physics coureses.

Key words: college physics courses, European universites, education
