The success grade of a course is calculated by taking into account the midterm exam score and final/make-up score of that course. The contribution percentage of the midterm exam score is 40%, and the contribution percentage of the score they receive from the final or make-up exam is 60%. The success of the student is determined by the absolute evaluation system according to the value of the grade he received from the course in which he took the exam, regardless of the success of other students in the group to which the student belongs. In the Absolute Evaluation System, the letter grade equivalents of success grade ranges are as follows: 88-100 (AA, 4.00) 80-87 (BA, 3.50) 73-79 (BB, 3.00) 66-72 (CB, 2.50) 60-65 (CC, 2.00). ) 50-59 (DC, 1.50) 0-49 (FF, 0.00) F (Failed without attendance), G Pass (Passed in non-credit courses), K Fail (Failed in non-credit courses), M Exempt (Out of grading). Accordingly, if the student receives one of the grades AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, he is considered successful. If he gets DC, he is considered to have conditionally succeeded. If he received one of the grades F or FF, he is considered unsuccessful.

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 regar

The Department of Biochemistry at Selçuk University's Faculty of Science conducts quality assurance processes in compliance with the criteria set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) and the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) to ensure the quality and academic standards of its educational activities. As of 2023, the Department of Biochemistry at Selçuk University has been accredited by the Association for the Accreditation of Faculties of Science, Literature, Science-Literature, Language, and History-Geography (FEDEK), certifying the quality of its education at both national and international levels.

1. Program Development and Approval: The curricula of the undergraduate programs implemented in the Biochemistry Department and the intended learning outcomes are prepared in accordance with the minimum standards determined by YÖK and the quality assurance principles established by YÖKAK. The curricula are approved by the university senate and put into effect.
2. Assessment and Evaluation: The evaluation of the intended learning outcomes for students is planned and implemented in accordance with Selçuk University's education, training, and examination regulations. This process objectively measures and evaluates students' knowledge, skills, and competencies.
3. Certification: Students enrolled in the Biochemistry program who successfully complete their course credits and other academic requirements are entitled to receive a bachelor's degree approved by YÖK and in line with the national qualifications’ framework.
4. Monitoring and Evaluation: At the beginning of each year, the department prepares an "Internal Evaluation Report" on the educational, training, and research activities of the previous year and submits it to the YÖKAK Information System. Additionally, it regularly reviews and conducts activities to improve the quality standards determined by FEDEK accreditation. The accreditation granted by FEDEK ensures the adequacy and quality of the department's educational programs.

The Biochemistry Department provides education solely within the scope of formal education based on the results of the ÖSYM University Entrance Exam. Candidates wishing to enroll in the program are required to present their high school diploma and ÖSYM exam result document. Additionally, undergraduate students can participate in the Erasmus Program and be sent to partner universities abroad for educational and research purposes.

Graduates of the Biochemistry Department's undergraduate program have the opportunity to pursue academic careers by applying to master's and doctoral programs related to biochemistry. Our graduates can work in specialized roles within the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, agrochemicals, biotechnology, and chemical industries, as well as in hospitals, universities, and medical, agricultural, and environmental research centers.

Graduates can actively contribute to areas such as biochemical analyses, quality control processes, development, and application of new methods. They can also participate in production processes or testing and analysis in the health, environmental, and food sectors. As biochemistry serves as a bridge between various disciplines, it provides our graduates with a broad and diverse range of career opportunities.

Additionally, our graduates employed as biochemists in public institutions and the private sector can find career opportunities in government organizations such as the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change; the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry; and the Ministry of Health, as well as in research centers. With the comprehensive competencies provided in the field of biochemistry, graduates can effectively shape their careers both nationally and internationally.
