In order to monitor the quality of higher education programs;

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for the planning, organization, management, and supervision of education, training, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.
"University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions, prepared every year within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, are published. Reports prepared according to these reports, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations for higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

Every year, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report", which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the "Procedures and Principles for Providing Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":
1. Creation and Approval of Curriculum:

1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening 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 bring to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.3. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK after being accepted by the relevant Deans Council.

2. Measurement-Evaluation: How to measure and evaluate the learning outcomes that each undergraduate program will provide to the student is carried out in accordance with the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions, receive a bachelor's degree.

4. Self-Evaluation-External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the "Institution Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. The "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared by YÖKAK regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions is shared with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also show that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. It carries out regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the YÖKAK legislation.

Students who want to enroll in the department must complete the processes / pass the exams determined by ÖSYM within the framework of the academic and legal legislation of the university. A student who has started his/her education in an equivalent program at home or abroad can apply for undergraduate transfer. Students' applications are examined and evaluated individually before the start of the semester, taking into account each student's conditions and the degree to which he/she has applied. More detailed information about university admission is available in the Institution Promotion Catalogue.

Within the scope of student exchange programs approved by the university and whose conditions are determined by an agreement, students from abroad can take courses within the program. They can take courses taught in English. The student taking the course must have taken the prerequisite courses or their equivalents. All courses in the program curriculum are conducted in English.

Individuals who graduate from the field of Biomedical Engineering are called "Biomedical Engineer". Biomedical engineers have job opportunities in many fields based on medicine and engineering. Within the framework of the education they receive, biomedical engineers design and manufacture dialysis machines, artificial organs, pacemakers, computer and electronic systems in health environments, angiography, x-ray devices, dialysis machines, blood analysis sensors and medical imaging devices similar to these systems. The duties of biomedical engineers differ according to their seniority and the fields they work in. Graduates can perform the design and economic feasibility of the product, solve problems in cooperation with purchasing, quality, marketing and production departments, test and maintain medical devices and provide training in these areas.

There are job opportunities both in the private sector and in governmental organizations. Graduates of the department can continue their postgraduate education in the fields of medical physics, tissue engineering, bioinformatics, biomedical materials and specialize in their fields. Graduates can work in public and private hospitals, medical manufacturing and design industry, technical service, sales, project design, quality and R&D departments of companies operating in the production of clinical devices. The search for specialists in this field is increasing day by day with advancing technology.

In addition, a significant number of our graduates continue their graduate studies following their undergraduate degree and continue their careers by obtaining master's and doctoral degrees in fields such as Biomedical Engineering.
