Summary/Abstract: For several years, the European university's domain has been going through a kind of turmoil, and experiencing the process of changes which aims, among many other things, at harmonizing academically countries that belong to it. It is a time of reflection, where a new model of the university does come into being at the same time, what raises mixed feelings among all participants of the debate. Certainly, there remains for us both a medieval model of the university, as well as Humboldt's proposal of it, because we are approaching to a more technical vision, which is focused on gaining a profession. In recent reforms of the university, while looking at academic curricula, we can see an emergence of such practices, which clearly show immediate requirements of the new society, which resign any intellectual deepening of these practices.
