Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the philosophical issues of the Tuning Project by appeal to one of the newest faculties in Lithuanian universities, the Faculty of Creative Industries. The theses are developed as follows. 1. The crossing of the ideas of a creative society and communication explodes the old attitudes presented by the partition of study branches; 2. Every new study programme is a utopia in some sense: there is a hope that it will be attractive under conditions of low student enrolment; it is oriented into a new study region not covered by any study branch; it appeals to a new society that will be created by the graduates. 3. A new study programme is good inasmuch as it loses touch with knowledge covered by the existing study branches. 4. The limit-ness of a study programme is an aspect of communicative ecology while the unlimited possibilities refer to its amorphous and eclectic character. 5. The Bologna process and the Tuning project could be evaluated as a return to the Humboldt (if not classical) university model. The Humboldt model helps to avoid the excesses of autonomous sciences that resulted after the reforms of the Enlightenment.
