To oversee the quality of higher education programs;

- YÖK is responsible for planning, organizing, managing and supervising education and training and other activities in higher education institutions.

- "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK are published every year. The reports prepared according to these reports, including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

- "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" containing academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions is published annually by CoHE. 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 ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Creation and Approval of Curricula: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.2. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are adopted by the relevant Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the teaching 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 diploma.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, in the context of continuous monitoring, 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 the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the legislation.

Accreditation Start/End Date:

01.05.2010/30.09.2025

Special Admission Conditions

• The student who wants 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 horizontal transfer. The admission of students is 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 limited by an agreement, students from abroad can take courses taught in English at the department. If the student has Turkish language proficiency, he/she can enroll in any Turkish course specified in the Course Plan.

• Except the basic metallurgical sector, our graduates also work in metallurgical materials engineering (e.g. ceramics, polymer, glass, refractories , casting, heat treatment, corrosion, damage-free inspection, powder metallurgy, different coating areas, quality control, plastic forming, sales representation, additive manufacturing and energy storage). There are also opportunities to work in different engineering fields related to (e.g. defense, aviation, electronics, energy, medical, white goods) . After 4 years of education, our graduate students are equipped to make decisions based on rational knowledge about sectors in many different disciplines, both within and outside the field, thanks to the education they receive, the internships they do, and laboratory studies.
• The student who successfully completes the program can apply for master's and doctoral degrees in the field of Metallurgical Materials Engineering or other branches of science that accept students from this field.
