About the Geography Department
The Department of Geography started its glorious journey with the establishment of the University. Geography is primarily concerned with the location and arrangement in space of human and natural phenomena, and with the interrelationships between people and their environments. Geographers have a deep curiosity about the world, they investigate the “why” and “where” of various social, economic, and environmental phenomena. They contribute to the development of public policy and influence the way societies view themselves and the world. Geography touches almost every aspect of our lives. Geography is a scientific field that uses large amounts of data to understand spatial relationships and how they affect social and environmental issues.
Our teachers and students come from different regions of the country. We teach regularly and our research has a national and international focus. The department provides quality teaching as well as a learning environment. The department emphasizes applied geography and field work which aims at imparting practical training on the application of theoretical knowledge in solving real-life geographical problems.
