PREFACE
“MiAK-MAK Accreditation Conditions” and “MiAK-MAK Accreditation Processes” define the requirements to be fulfilled by the architecture program to be accredited, the minimum conditions and process steps that must be complied and followed by the Visiting Team and program executives. For this reason, "MiAK-MAK Accreditation Conditions" and "MiAK-MAK Accreditation Processes" should be assessed together by considering the scope of each other.
MiAK expects an architecture program that is required to be accredited to develop an educational approach that meets the MiAK-MAK Accreditation Requirements and to provide education in a way that provides "Knowledge, Skills, and Competencies That Graduates Should Gain".
The manner and level of realization of the MiAK-MAK Accreditation Requirements may vary according to the programs accredited/to be accredited, as well as the meeting of the conditions and the reporting of the requirements may be different. In addition, programs must prove their compliance with the MiAK-MAK Accreditation Conditions by providing complete and accurate information.
SELF-ASSESSMENT OF THE PROGRAM
The Self-Assessment Report of the Program is the main source of the accreditation process. This report should be prepared in Turkish. However, the program may also offer documents in another language if it deems it necessary.
The Self-Assessment Report consists of two sections: "General Information about the Program" and "Teaching and Learning Features of the Program". At the end of each chapter, the topics are examined in the context of "criticism, evaluation, and objectives".
The self-assessment of the program includes objective data, critical opinions, evaluations, and predictions to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the program and opportunities and threats.
Programs Applying to MiAK for the First Time:
MiAK can assess the undergraduate programs that give a profession in architecture and the programs that give master's and doctoral degrees as integrated.
The program must meet the criteria specified in Article 2.1 of the MiAK-MAK Processes Document. These criteria are;
- To be recognized by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) and to be included in the scope of central placement by the T.R. (Turkish Republic) Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM),
- To have an Undergraduate and/or Graduate Program in Architecture,
- The application and correspondence language for accreditation to be Turkish or English,
- To have provided at least 6 (six) years of uninterrupted education with the current or equivalent course curriculum and to have graduated at least 60 students.
The program, whose application is accepted, first prepares the Self-Assessment Report.
Programs previously accredited by MiAK:
For re-accreditation, the program must submit its letter of intent to MiAK, following the expiration of its own accreditation period and the application and expiration dates of the accreditation process according to the MiAK-MAK Accreditation Calendar.
The Self-Assessment Report of an accredited program should include a copy of the previous Visiting Team Result Report (Annex 5) and copies of the Annual Reports sent to MiAK-MAK after the previous visit, as well as the MiAK-MAK evaluations related to these reports (Appendix 6).
The Self-Assessment Report, which must be submitted to MiAK-MAK at the end of the accreditation period recognized because of the previous visit to the program, should include explanations of the "deficient", "problematic" and "noticeable" situations specified in the previous Visiting Team Final Report.

In addition to the compulsory courses, the in-curricular and extra-curricular courses that students can take as electives in the subjects they are interested in should be included in the total course credits. The support of elective courses to the minor education of students should not be ignored.
The knowledge, skills, and competencies gained by each course in the course curriculum are indicated by "learning outcomes" (Annex 3).
2.2. Learning Environment and Level of Success
The program assesses the success of the student in the context of the knowledge, skills, and competence criteria that he/she should gain, and is free to determine the measurement/assessment methods, learning environment, educational goals, and approaches. The level of knowledge, skills, and competencies of the graduate is shown.

2.4. Knowledge, Skills, and Competencies that a Graduate Should Gain
In this section, the graduate profile targeted by the Program is defined.
The consistency of the knowledge, skills, and competencies required by graduates with the goals and expectations defined in the vision and mission of the Program is assessed.
The program is obliged to prove that its graduates meet the targeted criteria through the vocational courses included in its curriculum. General courses (university common-pool courses) are not included in this scope. Information is given about the equivalence of the courses taken from other institutions with the courses in the Program.
The program must demonstrate in the Self-Assessment Report and during the visit that each graduate has acquired the knowledge and skills described in the main areas mentioned below. In the programs, some of the knowledge and skills may be more prominent within the framework of the defined mission and vision, as well as new knowledge and skills may be added.
The courses in the educational curriculum of the program and the areas of knowledge and skills that the student should acquire are gathered under 5 basic headings.
I) Architecture - Design / Creative Thinking
II) Architecture - History / Theory, Culture / Art
III) Architecture - Environment / City / Society
IV) Architecture - Technology
V) Architecture - Professional Environment
Each field includes the knowledge, skills, and competencies within the framework of the subject that architectural education aims to provide to the graduate. These knowledge, skills, and competencies are defined at two levels:
Understanding: It is the capacity for comprehension in which knowledge is internalized. It is the ability to interpret, explain, summarize, compare, classify, in short, internalize the information.
Skill: It is the ability to use the acquired knowledge in different representational environments. It is the competence to choose the appropriate information in the solution of a specific problem and to be aware of the differences in its use.
The Visiting Team also assesses student performance criteria for alignment with the curriculum objectives and contents set by the Program.
While MiAK-MAK stipulates that the Program will provide the identified knowledge and skills to its graduates, it does not specify an educational format or a form for student work to meet these criteria. This releases the program on the subject. In this regard, the program can offer a peculiar educational format.
MiAK-MAK encourages the programs to meet these criteria, to develop and use their own learning and teaching methods, and to consider innovative methods in providing student performance criteria. The program assesses whether students meet these criteria and documents their results.
In the Self-Assessment Report;
- The objectives and content of the program curriculum,
- A matrix showing the relationship of each compulsory course or course group with the criteria for the knowledge and skills expected to be acquired by the students (at least 1 and at most 5 knowledge, skills, and competency equivalents with the highest importance for each course are expected to be marked in the matrix),
- The contribution of selected courses in the acquisition of knowledge and skills should be explained.
The purpose of accreditation is to reflect the students' ability to understand the following basic areas and/or to gain skills in these areas for their studies. The level of comprehension and skills that the student should gain in these basic areas should be proven by the projects, assignments, and exam documents they have done.
I) Architecture - Design / Creative Thinking
Architectural education should aim to develop the capacity to question, rethink, conceptualize, design, and realize the relationship between culture, art, science, society, environment, technology, etc. with architecture.
