Improvement activities in our Department are carried out on the basis of the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle. The Department Quality and Accreditation Commission is responsible for monitoring these processes. Improvement needs are identified on the basis of data obtained from student feedback, course evaluation reports, external stakeholder views, graduate surveys and academic performance indicators.

Feedback, evaluation reports and stakeholder views are collected, and the need for improvement is identified.
The Department Board or the Department Academic Board takes a decision, and the decision is reflected in the curriculum or departmental operations.
The results of implementation are monitored through course evaluation reports, performance indicators and subsequent feedback.
Further adjustments are made or the implementation is continued on the basis of monitoring results; records are maintained in board minutes.
