To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education, teaching, 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, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

YÖK publishes the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report” containing academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions every year. 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 provided according to the “Procedures and Principles for Providing Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Development and Approval of Teaching Programs:

  1.1. The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of associate degree departments and programs in higher education institutions.

  1.2. The curricula of associate degree programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes they aim to impart to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles established by the Council of Higher Education (CoHE).

1.3. The curriculum of the National Core Curriculum is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK 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 the student is carried out in accordance with the education, training and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK 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 Assessment: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the “Internal Institutional Assessment 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 YÖKAK regarding the external assessment 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 its legislation.

Mechatronics Associate Degree Program was accredited by the Vocational Education Evaluation and Accreditation Association (MEDEK) in 2025.

Accreditation Start/End Dates: 01.01.2025 / 31.12.2028

Student admission to the Mechatronics Program of Istanbul Gedik University, Gedik Vocational School, is conducted centrally by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) based on the Higher Education Entrance Exam (YGS) and TYT score types. In addition to students admitted through central placement, admissions are also conducted through horizontal transfer, the Foreign Student Exam (YÖS), and the double major program framework. Admissions to our program are carried out within the quotas determined by the Measurement, Selection, and Placement Center and based on central placement scores, with the main criteria for these systems set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). For students wishing to transfer to our program from another university, the process is carried out in accordance with the "Regulation on the Principles of Transfer Between Associate and Undergraduate Degree Programs in Higher Education Institutions, Double Major, Minor, and Credit Transfer Between Institutions," as well as the "Istanbul Gedik University Associate and Undergraduate Programs Horizontal Transfer Directive.
