Overview

As Tribology is a very multidisciplinary research and education topic, Luleå University of Technology, together with the Universities of Ljubljana, Slovenia, Leeds, UK, and Coimbra, Portugal, are the most suitable combination for a highly ambitious program which is planned for these two years. A joint master degree is awarded from the partner universities.

Learning outcomes

In the second year of the Tribology of Surfaces and Interfaces program from Luleå University of Technology, for your third semester, you can choose between Luleå University of Technology in Sweden and Coimbra University in Portugal. In this semester you will take a very experimental "hands on" approach to develop your skills to work as an engineer in the related subjects within Tribology. You will also undertake a comprehensive project course during the third semester. Projects are developed as a part of ongoing fundamental based research projects or as part of industry related and more applied topics in collaboration with our industrial partners.
