TRIBOS IS NOW AWARDING A TRUE JOINT DEGREE
For all of the partner universities the Joint European Master programme TRIBOS has been accredited according to national legislation and institutional procedures so that it is valid and recognised in each of partner university countries. By achieving this goal the TRIBOS Consortium of the partner universities now awards the students a true Joint Master Degree Certificate.
University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
University of Ljubljana (est.1919), largest university in Slovenia, is one of the top 500 universities (Shanghai rank). It has 50.000 students, taking over 300 under- and postrgraduate study programmes, structured in accordance with the Bologna Declaration. It employs 6.000 teachers, researchers, assistants and other staff in 23 faculties and 3 art academies. The key TRIBOS activities will be carried at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Laboratory for tribology and interface nanotechnology (TINT).
Applications for Master TRIBOS 2019–2021 are now closed
Materials science at the cutting edge.
Become a student of one of the key multidisciplinary engineering areas
Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and of related subjects and practices. The nature and consequences of the interactions that take place at the moving interface control its friction, wear, and lubrication behaviour. Understanding the nature of these interactions at micro and nano scale and solving the technological problems associated with the interfacial phenomena constitute the essence of tribology. Tribology incorporates a number of disciplines, including mechanical engineering, materials science, mechanics, surface chemistry, surface physics and a multitude of subjects such as surface characterization, friction, wear, lubrication, thin films and coatings, materials, lubricants, and the selection and design of lubrication systems and contact properties. It forms a vital part of the engineering sciences and is one of the key engineering areas. The field of tribology, functional surfaces and interfaces is thus highly interdisciplinary and is becoming increasingly advanced in recent times. TRIBOS Joint Master Programme provides the students with the high-level contemporary knowledge, required for the next generation of engineers and scientists to tackle highly-interdisciplinary tribology-related problems.

The key academic groups of TRIBOS consortium are leading and world renown in their own field of Tribology and Surface engineering. They are very complementary from point of view of surfaces, lubricants and interfaces, as well as engineering component design. Thus, their involvement in a single programme enables integration of the whole range of tribology sub-areas required for successful application solutions.
