This paper focuses on the problem of epistemic disjunctions between the different disciplinary fields within the context of universities, as a consequence of limits to flexibility, excessive curricular specialisms and systems of self-referenced disciplinary knowledge. The study included the con- struction of indicators of disciplinary mobility and interactivity of students, which allowed us to discuss interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity at the university. In general terms, the outcome of the study revealed the significant rigidity and practical restrictions of flexible curriculum, conditions that limit the emergence of denser communication schemes and more interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity in higher education.
