Geography
Welcome to the world of
geography. It is
about geography, that is a study of humankind as well as natural, and
physical landscapes on the face of the earth. It is very unique academic
discipline for its ability to integrate ideas and methods from many
different disciplines; it's concern about 'spatial' or areal patterns,
relationships and processes on the areal patterns, relationship and
processes on the earth's surface, and it's important focus on environment
studies. That's why in recent year Dhaka University changed the name of this
department as 'Department of Geography and environments'. This department
provide students various valuable and relevant training, as well as
inseparable field trips for getting hand on practice of the real world. It
offer 4 years of graduation program and 1 year of masters program. It
provide B.Sc M.Sc course as well as research and MPhil program.
Undergradute ( Honours) Program:
It consist of 32 units of courses spread over 4 Years:16

Geomorphology:
Geomorphology is a study of
landforms, including their classification, description nature, origin,
development and relationship to underlying structures. Also the history of
geologic changes are recorded by these surface features. The term is
sometimes restricted to features produced only by erosion: 3)
Erosional Landforms - landforms formed from
the removal of
weathered and
eroded surface materials by wind, water, glaciers, and gravity. This
includes landforms with some of the following geomorphic features: river
valleys, glacial valleys, and coastal cliffs. and
deposition: (4)
Depositional Landforms - landforms formed from
the
deposition of
weathered and
eroded surface materials. On occasion, these deposits can be
compressed, altered by pressure, heat and chemical processes to become
sedimentary rocks. This includes landforms with some of the
following geomorphic features: beaches, deltas, flood plains, and glacial
moraines.

Structural Landforms - landforms that are
created by massive earth movements due to
plate tectonics. This includes landforms with some of the following
geomorphic features: fold mountains, rift valleys, and volcanoes.

Cultural geography:
The study of countries', cultures, customs,
foods, clothing, music, architecture, traditions, religions and languages of
the world. The world has about 200 different nations and over 6,000 distinct
languages in it. Since languages are a basic part of forming a basis for a
culture, then there are over 6,000 different cultures in the world also.
Since it would be almost impossible to represent them all on this webpage, a
sample of some of the world's general or main cultural pools is shown below
from the geographic areas of Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania.
Of the 6,000 or so languages in the world, most are spoken
by small tribal groups and only about 12-15 are used in a widespread fashion
in international trade and politics. The rest are national languages of the
dominant culture in any given nation except in Africa and the Americas,
where the official national languages are often that of their former
European colonialists. In the recent past, of course, 'English' has become
the accepted international language of trade.
Cultural impact to the people all over the world.
Economic Geography:
The primary objective of this course is
to familiarize you with the basic concepts related to the advance, spread,
and distribution of economic activity across the planet. The idea of a world
marketplace is rapidly becoming a reality, along with a worldwide pattern of
transition to open market economies in countries whose economies were
previously controlled by their governments. This course looks at the forces
that are reshaping the global economy, the fundamentals of spatial
economics, classical locational theories, and trade. Journals and reading
