In courses that include both theoretical and practical components, examinations may be structured to comprise 50% theoretical and 50% practical content.

  • As part of the semester grade assessment, an exam accounting for at least 20% of the total must be administered during the midterm examination week. If deemed necessary by the course instructor, the remaining 20% of the semester grade may be based on assignments, projects, quizzes, seminars, presentations, laboratory work, fieldwork, sketches, reports, or similar activities, in accordance with a previously announced schedule. These activities must be conducted during scheduled class hours. If no such activities are assigned, the midterm exam will constitute 40% of the semester grade.

  • The academic achievement levels and corresponding grade point values are calculated on a 4.00 scale. Based on this evaluation, each student is assigned one of the letter grades listed in the table below by the course instructor, with each grade corresponding to a specific grade point value.

In order to monitor the quality of higher education programs;

· YÖK is responsible for the planning, organization, management and supervision of education and other activities at higher education institutions.

· “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” of higher education institutions are prepared and published every year within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK. Reports prepared on these documents, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations for higher education institutions, are publicized by YÖK.

· The “Report on Foundation Higher Education Institutions” which includes academic, administrative and financial data regarding foundation higher education institutions is published annually by YÖK. These reports including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions are publicized by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the “Procedures and Principles on Quality Assurance regarding the Diploma Programs in Higher Education”:

 1. Creation and Authorization of Education Programs:

1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required to initiate undergraduate degree departments and programs at higher education institutions.

1.2. The curricula of undergraduate degree programs at higher education institutions, as well as the learning outcomes to be expected in relation to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the relevant basic principles determined by YÖK.

1.3. The curricula of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK, upon their acceptance by the relevant Council of Deans.

 2. Measurement and Evaluation: The  measurement and evaluation processes on the learning outcomes to be expected for each undergraduate degree program in relation to students are undertaken in accordance with the regulations on education and examination prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the relevant basic principles determined by YÖK.

3. Documentation: Upon successful completion of their course credits, as well as other obligations determined by higher education institutions, students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs receive a bachelor’s degree.

4. Self-Evaluation - External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions upload their “Institution Internal Evaluation Reports” of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (THEQC) at the beginning of each year. The “Institutional Feedback Report” by THEQC regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions is then publicized. In addition, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by THEQC also show that the quality assurance is ensured for the qualifications of these programs. THEQC undertakes regular reviews on the qualifications determined in accordance with their legislation.

The selection and placement of students into the Psychology Program are carried out by the Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) in accordance with Article 45 of the Higher Education Law No. 2547. Placement is based on the scores obtained in the Higher Education Institutions Examination (YKS), preferences made by the applicants, and pre-determined quotas.

Candidates wishing to apply to the Psychology Program must obtain a sufficient score in the Equal Weight (EA) score type of the YKS. Those who are placed in the Psychology Program as a result of the YKS placement process may complete their final registration, provided they are not simultaneously enrolled in another undergraduate program at the same level.

Once registration is completed, candidates officially become students of the Psychology Program and are entitled to all student rights granted by the current legislation.

International students are admitted to the program based on the evaluation of their direct applications made to the university.

Graduates of the Psychology Department find employment opportunities in various public institutions (such as the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of National Education, Social Services, etc.), private educational institutions, psychotechnical assessment centers, and industrial organizations. By obtaining a teaching certification (pedagogical formation), they are also eligible to work as teachers in both public and private institutions. Furthermore, graduates may continue their careers in academia by pursuing graduate studies (Master’s and Doctorate levels) and engage in scientific research under the auspices of universities.

Undergraduate students are entitled to participate in double major programs offered by their higher education institutions. Students enrolled in a double major program take courses from two separate degree programs simultaneously and, upon successful completion, are awarded two separate bachelor's degrees.
