Some Challenges
Lots of new universities who need infrastructureThe work load of academicians is a lotParticipation of other stakeholders, such as
industrial sector and students is still below under expectations
Some old and well established universities are fairly slow compare to new and flexible ones
Academic Assessment and Quality Improvement Boards did not performed well in some universities
In some universities only pilot observation

Strength of HE in TURKEYDepartments in Science and Technology are eager in QAIncrease in cooperation with industrial sectorParticipation of proffessors, as stakeholders, are very
goodQA process opened more places for HEIs far away from
the eyesQA has pushing effect on established HEIs, competition
between universities are increasingABET experiences helped so much in QA of MUDEKEffect of sharply increasing number of ERASMUS
students from Europe and to Europe is amazingThere is no important resistance for QA system in HEIs
as there was a little at the beginning Number of people who hold PhD is increasing

To Summarize According to the last data collected: Universities that have more flexible
administration performed very well, because of easy adaptation and
More student oriented universities are moving forward incredibly fast
Well established old universities have disadvantages but they are benefitting from advantages of international students
