Within the scope of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 10002:2014 Audit, it was determined that GTU quality studies successfully fulfilled the requirements of the standard in the external audit conducted by Türk Loydu on March 11-12.

Within the scope of the two-day quality audit conducted by Türk Loydu Auditors Olcay KOCA and Şehnaz NALBANT, a total of 14 units, including the Senior Management, were selected as a sample to represent GTU and audited for meeting the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 10002:2014 accreditations.

Hasan ASLAN and Vice Rectors Prof. Dr. Nilay COŞGUN and Prof. Dr. Arif Çağdaş AYDINOĞLU informed the auditors about GTU's improvement activities throughout the year and the activities planned for the coming years.

In his speech, Rector Prof. Dr. M. Hasan ASLAN once again emphasized the importance he attaches to quality studies and said, “In order to provide fast, improvement and solution-oriented services by prioritizing the satisfaction of our internal and external stakeholders as we have committed to in the Quality Policy of our university, and to be a pioneering university that can adapt to technological developments and research, both myself and my esteemed Vice Rectors as administrators, as well as all our administrative and academic staff, with the consultancy of our Quality Office team and the support of our quality unit officers, strive to fulfill their role in the best way possible.” Aslan also underlined the priority given to quality by YÖK and said, “Our university has the potential to compete with universities not only in our country but also abroad. The fact that our place in national and international rankings is on an upward trend is a clear indication of this. In order to support this success, the importance of ISO accreditation in ensuring institutionalization and ABET, MİAK, FEDEK and AACSB accreditations in the field of education and training cannot be denied. Ultimately, all these accreditations are indispensable for us to meet YÖKAK standards and achieve our goals in the strategic plan.”
