The program's quality is assured via ETMK accreditation, feedback from alumni, partnerships with industry stakeholders, and compliance with the quality standards established by the Bologna Process. Furthermore, in order to uphold the standards of higher education programs:

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) holds the responsibility for the planning, regulation, management, and supervision of educational, training, and ancillary activities carried out within higher education institutions.
Annually, YÖK disseminates "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports,"encompassing both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions. The reports are disseminated for public access.
The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) publishes an annual "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report," which presents comprehensive academic, administrative, and financial data pertaining to foundation universities, accompanied by both qualitative and quantitative assessments.
Ensuring Quality in Undergraduate Programs within Higher Education
The quality assurance of undergraduate programs is upheld in accordance with the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs." This framework encompasses the following components:

1. Development and Approval of Curricula: 

YÖK delineates the minimum standards and criteria necessary for the establishment of new undergraduate departments and programs. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes to be achieved by students are established by the senates of higher education institutions in alignment with the fundamental principles set forth by YÖK. National Core Education Programs are executed by higher education institutions subsequent to the endorsement by YÖK, contingent upon their ratification by the pertinent Deans' Council.

2. Assessment and Evaluation:

The methodologies employed for the assessment and evaluation of students' learning outcomes within each undergraduate program are executed in accordance with the educational, training, and examination regulations established by higher education institutions, aligning with the fundamental 

principles set forth by YÖK.

3. Certification:

 Students participating in undergraduate programs are awarded a bachelor’s degree upon the successful fulfillment of the course credits and additional requirements as established by their respective higher education institutions.

4. Self-Evaluation and External Evaluation:

Higher education institutions present their "Institutional Self-Evaluation Reports" to the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the commencement of each academic year.
YÖKAK undertakes external evaluations of higher education institutions and disseminates the results in an Institutional Feedback Report. Accreditation decisions rendered by recognized accreditation bodies sanctioned by YÖKAK function as quality assurance indicators for program competencies.
YÖKAK engages in systematic review activities to ascertain adherence to the established qualifications framework.
