To ensure the quality of higher education programs;

• The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education, training, and other activities conducted in higher education institutions.
• YÖK publishes every year “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” which assess higher education institutions based on criteria set by YÖK. These reports, which include both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are shared with the public.
• Additionally, YÖK releases the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" annually, which contains academic, administrative, and financial data related to foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are also shared with the public.

The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured in accordance with the “Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Development and Approval of Curricula:

1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.2. The curricula of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes for students in each program are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles set by YÖK.

1.3. The curricula of National Core Education Programs are implemented by higher education institutions after being approved by YÖK, following acceptance by the relevant Deans’ Council.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The methods for assessing and evaluating the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program are conducted in accordance with the fundamental principles established by YÖK and are regulated by the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions.
3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor's degree upon successfully completing the course credits and other academic requirements set by higher education institutions.
4. Self-Assessment and External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the "Institutional Self-Evaluation Reports" for 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," which it prepares based on the external evaluation of higher education institutions, with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK serve as proof of the quality assurance of program qualifications. In accordance with YÖKAK regulations, regular reviews of the established qualifications are conducted.

The Construction Technology Program of the Construction Department was accredited for the period of 01.01.2025 - 31.12.2028 as a result of the field visit (evaluation) conducted by the Vocational Education Accreditation Board (MEDEK) in 2024.

Candidates must be graduates of a high school or an equivalent institution to be eligible for enrollment in the Construction Technology Program at Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, Zonguldak Vocational School under the formal education system. These students must take the Higher Education Institutions Examination (YKS) and obtain a sufficient score in the Basic Proficiency Test (TYT) to be placed in our associate degree program.
