Courses and modules
The TRIBOS programme is designed in an integrated way with complementary subjects. It is developed based on students’ needs and requests from economic sector for education of the highest-quality engineers and researchers in the field of tribology of surfaces and interfaces and related interdisciplinary subjects that the TRIBOS consortium can provide because of the complementarity, academic experience and scientific leadership.
