The Department of Geography, one of the scientific departments of  the Faculty of Arts, dates back to the seventies (1975) when it was affiliated with the Faculty of Science, Art and Education of Aden University. At that time, it became one of its departments aiming to qualify teachers and researchers in geography.

since establishing the Faculty of Arts at HU in 2005, the Department of Geography has become one of its departments. Over a long period of time, it has gained experience in developing students’ scientific knowledge. In fact, our Department has graduated more than nine batches so far as follow:
