The importance of education depends on its ability to foster the development of future generations. A competently functioning education system is very important in achieving this goal. For this purpose, the establishment of a quality assurance system is very important to provide optimum education, training and learning opportunities in promising educational institutions. The quality assurance system covers all the principles of planning and implementing the internal and external quality assurance and accreditation processes of higher education institutions' education, research and social contribution activities and administrative services. In this thesis, a model has been proposed that includes the implementation of the processes carried out and planned to be realized in order to structure the quality assurance system in a newly established and developing state university. With the proposed model, an innovative quality assurance system based on the strategic management process, the internalization of periodic monitoring and improvement activities and stakeholder participation has been established. In this context, a survey systematic that evaluates stakeholder satisfaction was developed and analyzes were carried out together with its implementation. The results of the application have shown that the proposed model provides a high level of satisfaction. The study serves as a guide for newly established and developing higher education institutions.
