In order to monitor 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 criteria determined by YÖK are published every year. Reports prepared according to these reports, which include 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 every year by YÖK. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of 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 the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Creation and Approval of Curriculum: The minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions are determined by the Council of Higher Education.

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by the Council of Higher Education on these issues.

1.2. The curriculum of the National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education after being approved by the relevant Deans Council.

2. Measurement and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes that each undergraduate program will provide to students is carried out in accordance with the education and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by the Council of Higher Education on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor's degree if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the "Internal Institutional Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared by the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions made by accreditation institutions authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also show that the quality assurance of the program qualifications is provided. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the legislation.

Our program has been accredited by FEDEK from 09.01.2025 until 30.09.2030.

Students who want to register to the department must complete the processes determined by ÖSYM within the framework of the academic and legal regulations of the university / pass the exams. A student who has started his/her education in an equivalent program in Turkey or abroad can apply for horizontal transfer. The acceptance of students is examined and evaluated individually before the beginning of the term, considering the conditions of each student and the degree he/she applied for. Students coming from abroad within the scope of student exchange programs approved by the university and determined by an agreement can take courses given in English in the department. If the student has Turkish language proficiency, he/she can register for any Turkish course specified in the Course Plan.

The employment areas of graduates with the skills targeted by the program are also very wide. It is thought that graduates with the relevant skills can work in many different private organizations and government institutions. In addition to GIS units of provincial and district municipalities; Infrastructure, Environmental Protection, Waste Management, Parks and Gardens, Marine Services, Historical Environmental Protection, Projects, Urban Design, Transportation Planning, Traffic, Public Transportation, Tourism, Urban Planning, Zoning, Mapping, Earthquake and Ground Survey, Urban Transformation, Strategic Planning, Housing, Disaster Coordination, Water and Sewerage are among the employment areas of the graduates of the program. Other public institutions where the graduates of the program can work are ministries and various directorates affiliated to them. There are many general directorates where geographers can work in various ministries such as Public Works and Settlement, Environment and Urbanization, Forestry and Water Affairs, Energy and Natural Resources, Culture and Tourism, National Defense, Food, Agriculture and Livestock, Transportation, Maritime Affairs and Communications, National Education and Internal Affairs. Some of these are: Turkish Statistical Institute, Disaster Affairs, Land Registry and Cadastre, Bank of Provinces, Highways, Environmental Management, Environmental Impact Assessment and Planning, Afforestation and Erosion Control, Nature Conservation and National Parks, Special Environmental Protection, Forestry, State Meteorological Affairs, Energy Affairs, MTA, State Hydraulic Works, Mining Affairs, Petroleum Affairs, Research and Education, Cultural Heritage and Museums, Agricultural Production and Development, Protection and Control, Agricultural Research, Basin Research, Maritime Affairs, Coastal Safety, TÜRKSAT, Civil Aviation, Communication, Educational Technologies, Population and Citizenship Affairs, Local Administrations. Graduates of the program can be employed as geographers in many different institutions, and after the necessary formation and exam results, they can also work as geography teachers in secondary schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education. Students who graduate from the current geography departments mainly and primarily consider geography teaching in terms of profession. The proposed program will provide education and training for graduates to be employed primarily in different public institutions and private organizations operating in many different fields. In Turkey, which is growing with investments made in all fields, the need for geographers who graduate with the knowledge, skills and experiences provided by contemporary geography science is increasing. In 2013, it was stated by different sources that there was a need for thousands of trained personnel in GIS and IA subjects, especially in public institutions, different ministries and various directorates affiliated to them. Attention will be paid to ensure that students graduating from the current program are trained to meet these needs. The courses related to GIS and IA in the current program and the infrastructure and activities of the department are important evidence that this goal can be achieved.
