Graduates will be employed in biotechnology, food and pharmaceutical companies, universities and research institutes. They can also join consulting and design companies as well as domestic and foreign commercial and technical organizations. The versatility of this study program allows the graduate to be employed in all countries of the European Union in the biotechnology, food and pharmaceutical industries in positions requiring a tertiary education. After additional training, they will find positions in other technical areas, thanks to the acquired technical way of thinking. Graduates have extensive knowledge of microbiology, fermentation technology, molecular biology, genetic engineering, biochemistry, enzymology, biocatalysis, environmental and pharmaceutical biotechnology, bioengineering, chemical and bioanalytical methods and techniques. An important part of graduates' education is also their independent laboratory and scientific work in the chosen biotechnological field. Graduates can apply this knowledge in the design of fermentation processes, their modeling and simulation in terms of optimization of the production process, targeted construction of new production biosystems and bioproducts. They can present the results of the research in the form of a report or a scientific publication in technical English. Thanks to language training, graduates can apply in all EU countries in the field of biotechnology industry, research and development.
