“University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” prepared within the criteria set by YÖK for higher education institutions are published annually. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

“Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report”, which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions, is published annually by YÖK. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative assessments for foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the “Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

Establishment and Approval of Teaching Programs: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria necessary for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

Internal and External Evaluation: Higher education institutions enter the “Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports” of the previous year at the beginning of each year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) within the context of continuous monitoring. YÖKAK shares the “Institutional Feedback Report” it prepares on the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. Moreover, accreditation decisions granted by accreditation organizations authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also demonstrate that the programs meet the quality assurance of qualifications. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities related to the qualifications determined as required by YÖKAK regulations.
