About
The Directorate of Strategic Development and Quality operates as a unit that guides the university’s institutional development by adopting strategic management and quality-focused approaches in line with globalisation, developments in the scientific community, the concept of lifelong learning, and the needs of a knowledge-based society.
The Directorate continues its work in accordance with the Quality Assurance Guidelines; by taking the Graded Evaluation Framework established by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) as its basis, it contributes to ensuring that the university’s education and teaching, research and development, social contribution, and governance activities are conducted in line with national and international quality standards.
In line with a strategic management approach, the Directorate of Strategic Development and Quality collects, analyses and evaluates data and information aimed at improving management and services; examines external factors that may affect the university’s educational services; and conducts internal capacity analyses. Furthermore, it contributes to institutional development processes by conducting various studies to measure the effectiveness of services and stakeholder satisfaction levels.
The Directorate also coordinates the preparation of the university’s strategic plan and performance programme, evaluates implementation outcomes in line with established objectives, and carries out work aimed at developing performance and quality indicators.
