The Geography department is very active in both academic and professional seminars. In the last ten years, the Geography Department has organized several seminars either inside or outside the university. For example, the department organized three seminars: the first one for Masters students to present their proposal (usually in December of each year). The second one was also for Masters students to present their project findings and results, while the third seminar was to present the latest research in the field of Geography and related areas. These seminars were often delivered by staff.
