Adapting educational services to the demands of a local labor market can be replaced by a new role for universities in a specific geographic area in need of economic development, namely the fostering of the creative capital of their graduates. This paper presents the creative potential of students from the Romanian-Hungarian crossborder area by showing the main characteristics of creative students and some of their attitudes and preferences. It attempts to verify the findings of other researchers who have studied this phenomenon, considering the realities of the area under investigation. We expect to support a major change in the aims and content of curricula in the future university regarding the emphasis on developing students’ creativity.

Dostosowanie usług edukacyjnych do potrzeb lokalnego rynku pracy może zostać rozwinięte przez wdrożenie nowej roli uniwersytetów w kontekście potrzeby rozwoju gospodarczego, a mianowicie przez wspieranie twórczego kapitału swoich absolwentów. W artykule przedstawiono twórczy potencjał uczniów z rumuńsko-węgierskiego obszaru transgranicznego poprzez wskazanie głównych cech twórczych studentów, a także ich postaw i preferencji. Autorzy starają się zweryfikować wyniki badań innych naukowców, którzy analizowali to zjawisko, biorąc pod uwagę specyfikę obszaru na którym prowadzono badania. Oczekujemy wsparcia ważnej zmiany celów i treści programów nauczania w uczelni przyszłości w zakresie nacisku na rozwój kreatywności studentów.
