We propose a discussion framework for developing creativity as a graduate capability. It begins by investigating creativity and its correlation to community of practice principles. This is followed by an analysis of capabilities and the context of creativity within higher education. Finally it outlines a selection of learning theories and taxonomies that indicate how creativity could be developed within curriculum design. Within our globalised society, higher education is challenged and has the opportunity to develop creative capabilities within its learning environments. Graduates who possess creative capabilities have the self-efficacy to expand and express their learning. This knowledge creation can equip individuals and communities with the capability and confidence to explore, interpret and successfully deal with personal and socio-economic changes.
