Specialists trained in this master program can be employed in a wide variety of jobs in various fields of industrial technologies and biotechnologies or related fields, such as:
- Specialized enterprises (refineries, factories for obtaining bioproducts, units that produce biofuels but also bioproducts - phytopharmaceuticals, natural dyes, natural surfactants, etc.)
- Educational, research and industrial design institutions
- Product quality control laboratories
- Distribution and sale of equipment and bioproducts

The professional training of master students, after graduation, can be continued and developed through the doctoral study program. Among the teachers who have teaching activities for this master, there are also doctoral supervisors.

Practical training and computing applications are carried out in the teaching and research laboratories of the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. These laboratories have an appropriate teaching and research infrastructure, as well as a large range of specific licensed software packages (programming environments for scientific computing, such as Matlab, Mathcad, gPROMS, COMSOL, or ASPEN, HYSYS process simulators).

The training of master students is based on an appropriate teaching and research infrastructure at the level of current requirements (laboratory equipment, calculation technique and process simulator applications ASPEN, HYSYS, modern software - https://erris.gov.ro/ULTRA-MINT---UPB).

The team of professors involved in the teaching activities in the curriculum of the master program Biorefinery and Bioproducts combines harmoniously and efficiently, the consistent experience of professors with the enthusiasm of younger teachers.
