The Physics undergraduate program aims to train well-educated physicists for the technical and professional fields in industry and research institutions. The objectives of the Physics Bachelors Program are:

• To educate students to become professionals with in-depth knowledge and skills in science and mathematics to understand physical systems,
• To enable students to analyze, design and solve problems in physics and related disciplines,
• To enable students to develop the skills needed to give presentations, to communicate both in writing and verbally, to deal with scientific sources of information, and to work independently as well as with others,
• To provide the foundation for an advanced degree program and lifelong learning.

Through these objectives, after the construction of classical physics background in first three semester, beginning from the fourth semester, the lectures on the subject of modern physics are taken by students. Some of the last four semesters courses are quantum mechanics, solid state physics, electromagnetic theory, atom 

and molecular physics. Beginning from the third semester, the students will take an opportunity to study and to get knowledge on many different areas of physics with selecting the elective courses. Some of these elective courses are special relativity, renewable energy sources, optoelectronics, superconductivity, molecular modelling and elementary particle physics. These courses are supported with modern educational materials.

There are Mechanics, Electricity-Magnetism, Vibration and Waves, Modern Physics, Electronics and Computer Teaching Laboratories and X-Ray Crystallography, Superconductivity, Environmental Radioactivity and Electron Spin Resonance Research Laboratories in Department of Physics. Education-teaching and research activities as of 2024, The educational and research activities are conducted with an academic staff consisting of 9 professors, 9 associate professors, 2 assistant professors, 2 specialists and 2 research assistants.

The learning process takes place in the form of formal education. In addition, applied training is provided in computer laboratories within the institution.

According to the relative evaluation system, a student's success grade in a course is determined according to the success level of the class by evaluating the success level of the semester studies for that course and the grade he received in the final or make-up exam. This evaluation, which will be referred to as relative evaluation, is made by the instructor teaching the course, taking into account the statistical distribution of grades and the class average. At the end of the relative evaluation, each student is given a grade of success, expressed in letters indicating the degree of success, by the instructor teaching the course. The degrees of success and coefficients expressed by the success grades are shown in the table below.

90-100            4.00 AA

85-89              3.50 BA

80-84              3.00 BB

75-79              2.50 CB

70-74              2.00 CC

65-69              1.50 DC

60-64              1.00 DD

50-59              0.50 FD

49 and below   0.00  FF

A student who receives one of the AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, DC, DD grades from a course is deemed to have succeeded that course. Moreover; Y (Unsatisfactory), B (Pass), M (Exempt) grades are grades that are not included in the average, and D (Absentee), E (Incomplete) grades are temporary grades;

a) D grade is given to students who do not have the right to take the exam because they do not fulfill their attendance obligations or conditions regarding course practices, and is treated as (FF) grade in the grade point average calculation.

b) Grade B is given to students who are successful in courses that are not included in their grade point average.

c) Y grade is given to students who fail to succeed in courses that are not included in their grade point average.

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.

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.
