The methods of assessment and evaluation, including the types of examinations and their contribution to the course grade, are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles established by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).
Various methods such as assignments, projects, practical applications, midterm exams, and final exams are used in assessment and evaluation. Systems based on letters or numerical grades are employed to assess student achievement.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

• The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education and training activities, as well as other related operations in higher education institutions.

• “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” prepared for higher education institutions within the framework of the criteria set by YÖK are published annually. Based on these reports, YÖK also shares quantitative and qualitative evaluation reports with the public.

• YÖK annually publishes the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report,” which includes academic, administrative, and financial data regarding foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which contain both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are also shared with the public by YÖK.

The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is maintained in accordance with the “Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Development and Approval of Curricula

• YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required to establish undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

• 1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the intended learning outcomes for students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

• 1.2. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions after being approved by YÖK, following acceptance by the relevant Deans’ Council.

2. Assessment and Evaluation

The assessment and evaluation of learning outcomes for each undergraduate program are carried out in accordance with the education and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions, in line with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

3. Certification

Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor’s degree upon successful completion of the course credits and other requirements set by the higher education institutions.

4. Internal and External Evaluation

As part of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter their Institutional Self-Assessment Reports from the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK publishes the Institutional Feedback Report related to the external evaluation of higher education institutions for public access.

Furthermore, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that programs meet the quality assurance requirements. YÖKAK regularly conducts review activities on qualifications as required by its regulations.

Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs (MÜDEK)
