Annex 2
Knowledge and understanding
For a Master of Arts/Science (120 credits) the student shall have:
* demonstrated knowledge and understanding in the main field of study, including both broad knowledge of the field and a considerable degree of specialised knowledge in certain areas of the field as well as insight into current research and development work, and
* demonstrated specialised methodological knowledge in the main field of study.
Competence and skills
For a Master of Arts/Science (120 credits) the student shall have:
* demonstrated the ability to critically and systematically integrate knowledge and analyse, assess and deal with complex phenomena, issues and situations even with limited information
* demonstrated the ability to identify and formulate issues critically, autonomously and creatively as well as to plan and, using appropriate methods, undertake advanced tasks within predetermined time frames and so contribute to the formation of knowledge as well as the ability to evaluate this work
* demonstrated the ability in speech and writing both nationally and internationally to report clearly and discuss his or her conclusions and the knowledge and arguments on which they are based in dialogue with different audiences, and
* demonstrated the skills required for participation in research and development work or autonomous employment in some other qualified capacity.
Judgement and approach
For a Master of Arts/Science (120 credits) the student shall have:
* demonstrated the ability to make assessments in the main field of study informed by relevant disciplinary, social and ethical issues and also to demonstrate awareness of ethical aspects of research and development work
* demonstrated insight into the possibilities and limitations of research, its role in society and the responsibility of the individual for how it is used, and
* demonstrated the ability to identify the personal need for further knowledge and take responsibility for his or her ongoing learning.
For specialization in Tribology the student shall
- demonstrate knowledge of research and development work in the subjects of mechanics, physics, mathematics and technical mechanics and the ability to use this knowledge to solve interdisciplinary tribological problems,
- demonstrate understanding and ability to develop solutions for typical tribology applications such as surface/interfaces, lubrication/lubricants, wear, and friction mechanisms (from nano- to macro-scale).
The student will after the training
- show ability in effective use of theories, computers, programming and measurement technology in order to perform experiments and scientific work and show ability to combine knowledge and skills from different scientific areas
- have ability to perform written and verbal presentations of technical or scientific problems and results for professionals and among laymen men and to have active experience of project work
- have a knowledge about research - and development works within practical energy technology and also, depending on direction, hydroelectric power or bioenergy
The credits stated indicate the total for all courses leading to the degree. All courses are to have been completed and passed.
All course requirements for this degree are stated in the official syllabus.
A degree certificate will be issued upon application to students who fulfil the requirements for a degree.
