Our Faculty has been entitled to receive “Full Accreditation” for the second time for 6 (six) years by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Pharmacy Education Programs (ECZAKDER).

Dean of our Faculty Prof. Necmiye CANACANKATAN said that this important achievement is the result of very intensive work: "As part of the accreditation application process, the Faculty Self-Assessment Committee (FÖDEK), which includes all our faculty members, was formed, a work plan was established and an information meeting was held. In accordance with the established schedule, under the leadership of the coordinators, the explanations related to the accreditation standards of the Turkish National Pharmacy Undergraduate Education Programmes were studied, the necessary documents related to the standards were meticulously delivered to the responsible FÖDEK members with the support of the relevant administrative staff, and regular meetings were held.

The studies which carried out were evaluated by the participation of the Dean, Vice Deans, main coordinators and rapporteurs and standard coordinators of our Faculty in these meetings. As a result of all these studies, our Faculty received “Full Accreditation” for the second time for 6 (six) years between 25.01.2025 - 25.01.2031."

Our Dean Prof. Necmiye CANACANKATAN stated that being accredited is an indication of education-training activities, research and community service processes which are carried out in accordance with national and international quality standards. “Being accredited is more than just obtaining a quality certificate, it refers to a comprehensive development process that includes all components of our Faculty with a continuous improvement perspective. Accreditation ensures the sustainability of the quality of programme that we offer to our students by up-to-date, innovative and supportive of professional competencies.

With accreditation, the institutional reliability and reputation of our Faculty has increased in the view of our internal and external collaborators, and our opportunities for cooperation with our external collaborators have expanded. In addition, more qualified scientific outputs have been obtained in research and development. In this context, our accreditation increases our recognition in national and international platforms and provides significant value for our students, academic staff and all our collaborators."

Prof. Dr. Necmiye CANACANKATAN concluded her speech by expressing her appreciation to our Rector Prof. Dr. Erol YAŞAR and all our academic and administrative staff for their valuable contributions to the accreditation process.
