The subjects of creativity and strategy in degrees in communication in Spain

Abstract

Training in competency-based learning model that the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) established is focused on university education to adapt to the needs of the occupational market. This article examines the creative and strategic skills between competencies and profiles proposed by ANECA (2005) for Degrees in Communication in Spain. In a second phase, a review of the subjects related to the creative strategy within curricula of degrees in Communication is made, from a sample of 125 degrees and 202 subjects. The results demonstrate the limited presence of the creative strategy in the curricula in Communication, being the Degrees in Advertising and Public Relations where it more frequently appears, as well as the lack of consensus in the appellation of the subjects.
