No mundo atual, a universidade tem um papel crucial na formação de cidadãos capazes de inovar. A criatividade surge, assim, como um conceito a valorizar no ensino superior, mas tal valorização implica alterações no quotidiano educativo. Uma fonte de informação relevante para a rentabilizações das competências criativas nos alunos universitários é auscultar o que estes pensam sobre elas. Neste sentido, a partir do questionário "Universidade e Competências Criativas", foram analisadas perceções de 582 estudantes de uma universidade portuguesa acerca da conceituação e da valorização de criatividade no contexto académico. As percepções foram analisadas em função da área curricular de formação e do género, encontrando-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas para ambas as variáveis. Os resultados permitem reflexões no sentido de aprofundamentos futuros deste estudo, assim como apontam direções para cuidados e reforços a ter nas práticas educativas neste nível de ensino.

ABSTRACT
In today's world, the University has a crucial role in the education of citizens in order to innovate. Creativity is thus a concept to value in higher education, but that valuation implies changes in the educational practices. A relevant source of information in order to promote creative skills in college students is to gather what they think about those skills. Through the questionnaire "University and Creative Skills" the perceptions of 582 Portuguese university students about the conceptualization and valorization of creativity in the academic contexts were analyzed. The perceptions were analyzed according to the students curriculum area and gender. Data suggest significant statistical differences in function of both variables. The results allow reflections towards further developments of this study but also point directions to reinforce deliberate educational practices in this level of education.
