The program aims to educate students with the capacity for scientific and multidimensional thinking, instil a collaborative mind-set, facilitate the comprehensive identity development of both students and faculty, establish supportive environment for scientific inquiry and quality education, and impart fundamental concepts, knowledge, and methods of information retrieval to students. In pursuit of these objectives, the aspiration is to emerge as a leading educational and research institution on the global stage, distinguished by its commitment to research-driven pedagogy and inquiry-based learning, and renowned for its contributions to advancements in science and technology

Education and instruction are conducted in formal format. Additionally; formal trainings are carried out in laboratories and workshops within higher education institutions, or as optional internships or workplace training in industry, healthcare facilities, and workplaces.

The holder possesses the following core competencies at an optimal level:

• Literacy qualification
• Multilingual proficiency qualification
• Competency in mathematics, science, technology and engineering
• Digital literacy
• Personal, social and learning competence
• Citizenship competency
• Entrepreneurship competency
• Cultural awareness and expression qualification

• Exams are measured out of 100 points. Midterm and final exam results of a course are shown with numerical scores. The score for exams that the student does not take is zero.
• The midterm exam score average is determined by dividing the sum of the scores the student received in the midterm exams by the number of midterm exams taken. The half number found in this way is rounded to the nearest whole number.
• Raw success score is calculated by adding 40% of the average score of midterm exams to 60% of the term or year-end exam score in units that provide education on the basis of course passing. In units that provide education on the basis of grade/year passing, the contribution to midterm and term or year-end exams is determined by the decision of the unit's board of directors and the approval of the Senate. This rate can be at most 60% for midterm exams and at least 40% for term or final exams. In calculating the odds, fractions are kept as they are, but in calculating the raw success score, half-half numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number. Exams are given in written form. Upon the request of the department, the relevant committees may decide to conduct the exam as oral, oral-written, portfolio, homework, research, project, interview, performance evaluation, process evaluation and/or presentation such as self/peer/group evaluation. This decision is announced in the information form given to students at the beginning of the semester.
• Raw success grades are determined according to the preferences of the units, using one of the relative grade conversion methods, the principles of which are determined by the Senate, or through the absolute grade conversion tables determined by the units.
• The 4-point system letter grades and grade points used at the university are shown in the table below:

To be successful in a course, the passing grade must be at least CC or higher.

To ensure the quality of higher education programmes;

•YÖK undertakes the responsibility of planning, organising, managing and supervising higher education institution's educational and other activities. •YÖK compiles "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" within its own criteria and publishes these reports annually. YÖK prepares reports that include qualitative and quantitative evaluations of higher education institutions in accordance with these annual reports and shares them with general public.

•The "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report", which includes academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions, is published by YÖK annually. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations made for foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

The Quality assurance of undergraduate programs within higher education is provided according to "Procedures and Principles for Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programmes":

1.Establishment and Approval of Curricula

YÖK establishes the minimum standards and criteria required to open undergraduate programs within higher education institutions.

1.1.In higher education institutions, the curriculum of undergraduate programmes and the expected learning outcomes of each program are established by the senates of higher education institutions, guided by the basic principles outlined by YÖK.

1.2.After the acceptance of the curriculum of National Core Education Programmes by the relevant Deans Council, its execution within higher education institutions is enacted with the approval of YÖK.

2.Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes achieved by each undergraduate programme are conducted according to the teaching and examination regulations established by higher education institutions, which are aligned with the fundamental principles established by the Council of Higher Education (YOK).

3.Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programmes who successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receive an undergraduate diploma.

4.Self Evaluation-External Evaluation: As part of continuous monitoring processes, higher education institutions submit their "Internal Evaluation Reports" from the previous year to the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each academic year. YÖKAK disseminates the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions. In addition, the accreditation decisions rendered by the accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also show that the quality of programmes' qualifications is assured. YÖKAK conducts routine review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with its legislation.

Teaching programs of Science, Literature, Science-Literature, Language and History-Geography Faculties are accredited by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of University Programs in Mathematical, Natural and Social Sciences (FEDEK).
