Özet:

The university is a field of science and education where knowledge is produced and transferred to the sectors, teaching is done and individuals are given a profession to use in their lives. For all of these studies, students, faculties and staffs are needed in a higher education institution.   However, in order for studies in the academic field to be carried out correctly, these members must be presented at the University with the appropriate rates. In recent years, the number of students in the universities of Turkey has increased without conforming to some qualification ratios. This study depends on the data of 2010 to 2014.  The number of total students range from 1 741 719 to 2 397 188 within this period.  In this paper, the number of students as university stakeholders are presented according to the university categories, and the effect of student numbers on education quality are evaluated on the basis of different levels of study (pre-undergraduate, undergraduate, graduate) in Turkey.  The study indicates that the rate of expansion to Turkish universities is quite high, when compared with those of the developed countries.
