Based on discussions and collaborations between the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnologies and a number of research and economic agents in Romania, it was found that the job market in the field of nanosciences and nanotechnologies is extremely varied and with many opportunities for development. The main positions on the national and international labor market include:
a) specialists capable of carrying out research and industrial activity in the field of nanosciences with applications in areas of great interest (obtaining nanomaterials and applying nanotechnologies to obtain devices with mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical and hybrid applications, etc.);
b) specialists capable of developing sustainable solutions by adapting micro- and nanomaterials to products/devices that improve the comfort of life or reduce the influence of anthropogenic activities on the environment;
c) specialists capable of developing new micro- and nano-materials used in both diagnosis and medical treatment;
d) specialists qualified to develop and apply laws, regulations and procedures of good practice, with emphasis on particular ethical rules.

According to the ESCO (European Skills, Competences, Qualifications, and Occupations) classification, engineers graduating from the Nanoscience Bachelor degree program have the ability to combine scientific knowledge of atomic and molecular structures with engineering principles for the design and development of applications in a wide range of fields. They apply their knowledge in chemistry, biology, materials engineering, etc. and use their technical knowledge to improve existing applications or create micro- and nano-objects.

From an occupational point of view, graduates of the bachelor cycle fall under ESCO code 2149.11.1 (Nanoengineer), and the proposed occupations are: nanotechnology engineer, nanotechnology expert, nanotechnology specialist, nanoengineer, nanosystems specialist, nanosystems engineer, nanotechnology engineer, nanosystems expert, nanoscience engineer, nanotechnologist, nanoscience expert, nanoscience specialist. The professional career of NANO graduates is defined in the labor market, as reflected in the expressions of interest of employers such as research institutes, small and medium enterprises, and corporations.

The teaching staff serving the Nanosciences (NANO) study program belongs to 14 departments within UPB (all staff are UPB tenured and there are no associated teaching staff or teaching staff over the legal retirement age). Of these, 7 departments belong to the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnologies, namely: Department of Oxide Materials Science and Engineering and Nanomaterials, Department of Bioresources and Polymer Science, Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, Department of Analytical Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, Department of Organic Chemistry C. D. Nenițescu, Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Department of General Chemistry.

The material basis necessary for the training of the students of the study program is provided entirely by the Politehnica University of Bucharest, in its own buildings. Students will have at their disposal a total area of 2103 square meters of classrooms.
The teaching laboratories have a total surface of 3300 sqm, of which 583 sqm are computer laboratories equipped with modern computer systems (1033 workstations) and licensed software. The experimental teaching laboratories have a total area of 20432.05 sqm, of which 654.72 sqm in the Department of Science and Engineering of Oxide Materials and Nanomaterials, where the applied part of most of the specialized disciplines in the Nanosciences program is carried out.
In this area there is also a sustained research activity, carried out both using the equipment in the teaching laboratories and in the research laboratories, with extensive and modern technical facilities. Part of the research activity is also carried out through the National Centre for Micro and Nanomaterials and the Group for Advanced Polymeric Materials.
