Raising the quality of education
To raise the quality of higher education and integrate it into the global education area, the university has organised its teaching since 2015 in a credit-module system based on ECTS principles. The university's Development Concept and Programme to 2030, approved by the rector, Chidem Janbay Turkyilmaz, names the quality of education and the training of highly qualified specialists as its main priority.
Digitalising the teaching process, applying innovative teaching technologies and using transparent methods of assessment are seen as the key factors in raising quality. The academic mobility of students and staff also contributes: in 2024, 61 of the university's leading teachers completed internships and professional development under academic mobility programmes, and 22 teachers from partner universities abroad gave master classes or lectures at the university. This has made it possible to apply at the university the advanced teaching methods used at foreign universities.
The systematic work of the Quality Control Coordination Office on organising teaching also helps to make teachers' teaching and research more effective.
