Moreover the same consultation (graduates’ returns only) shows that the Physics graduates exhibit a percentage of people working in a position related to the degree lower than the average of the seven Tuning subjects; correspondingly the Physics graduates exhibit a percentage of people working in a position not related to the degree higher than the average; this percentages are again consistent with a «de facto» interdisciplinary mentality 8 . Of course the above position of the Physics Academics may have risks in itself, mainly because of the fact that Physics may be sometimes perceived by the students, who are going to enter the university, as closed in itself, thus limiting the number of fresh students in the subject. 3. The gap in the competence values The gap or difference between the rating values in the two cycles of a given competence is always positive, i.e. on an absolute scale the competences of the 1 st cycle are always evaluated as less important. As already noticed, this fact witnesses that the Physics academics perceive the competence development as a cumulative process. The gap amount can then be taken as a rough measure of the development, which may be further achieved in the 2 nd cycle (for a given competence). The Table 4 shows the competences, as ordered by descending gap, again subdivided into three groups (high, intermediate, low gap). The variation range of the gap is 1.073, i.e. a meaningful one. 8 Such a trend in the percentages is only found in History (quite pronounced) and perhaps in Geology. 179
