1.1. The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles set by YÖK on these matters.
1.3. After the curricula of the National Core Education Programs are approved by the relevant Council of Deans, they are implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.
2. Measurement and Evaluation:
How the learning outcomes that each undergraduate program will provide to students are measured and evaluated is carried out in accordance with the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in line with the fundamental principles determined by YÖK on these matters.
3. Certification:
Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor’s degree diploma upon successfully completing the course credits and other requirements determined by higher education institutions.
4. Self-Evaluation – External Evaluation:
Within the scope of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the “Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports” of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares with the public the “Institutional Feedback Report” it prepares regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions.
In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation organizations authorized or recognized by YÖKAK indicate that quality assurance of the programs’ qualifications has been ensured. In accordance with YÖKAK legislation, regular review activities are carried out regarding the qualifications determined.
