Reports

The Unit Self-Evaluation Report is prepared every year in line with the criteria of the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) to present the activities, strengths and areas for improvement of our department in Leadership, Governance and Quality; Education and Training; Research and Development; and Community Service. The reports are prepared by the Department Quality Commission, discussed by the Department Board and submitted to the School Quality Commission.

Areas for improvement identified in the reports are transferred to the following year’s quality action plan and monitored within the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle.

For the self-evaluation reports of our School, please see the Social Sciences Vocational School Reports page.

Unit activity reports are prepared at unit level by the Social Sciences Vocational School in accordance with Public Financial Management and Control Law No. 5018, and the activities of our department are included in these reports.

For our department’s activities by year, see the Governance, Quality and Leadership, Education and Training, Research and Development and Community Service activity pages under the Quality menu. Reports from previous years are available on the School Reports page.
