After the establishment of the Faculty of Geography in 1945, under the name of the “Geodesy and Cartography” department, the basics of topography, geodesy, and cartography were taught to various specialties.
In 1947, the “Geographer-Cartographer” specialty was opened to meet the needs of the Central Asian republics with personnel in the field of cartography, and 17 students were admitted that year.
In 1948, Prof. After the death of N.I. Lebedinsky, the head of the department was replaced by senior teacher F.L. Tropkin, prof. I.G. Krasovsky, senior teacher I.G. Chernyak, Assoc. Ch. V.

International cooperation
Currently, the department has established scientific cooperation with HEIs of a number of foreign countries, including Western Hungary, Salzburg, London Greenwich University, Moscow State University, South Kazakhstan State Pedagogical Institute.
Since January 2013, the members of the department have actively participated in the large-scale project “TEMPUS GE-UZ: Geoinformatics: Ensuring the achievement of sustainable development in Uzbekistan” for 2012-2015 under the TEMPUS program of the European Union. Within the framework of this project, 11 members of the department participated in training courses organized at the universities of West Hungary, Salzburg and Greenwich and returned after improving their skills.
In 2014, a special educational laboratory “Geoinformatics” was established under the department and it was equipped with modern geodetic instruments, computers and geoinformation programs.
Since January 2013, the members of the department have been participating in the gSmart project of the Erasmus Mundus program (545696 – EM – 1- AT- ERA MUNDUS- EMA 21). As the coordinator of this project in Uzbekistan, the head of the department, prof. E.Y. Safarov conducted work. According to the program, 4 undergraduate students, 1 graduate student, 2 PhD students, and 1 PostDoc student have studied at various higher educational institutions of Europe and returned to improve their knowledge. In the framework of this project, teaching staff from several HEIs of Uzbekistan (UzMU, TIMI, TATI, UrDU, BukhSU and others) went abroad to improve their skills. From September 2015 to June 2016, the senior teacher of the department, I. O. Abdullaev (in Austria), Sh. Prenov (in Hungary) and A. Ruziev (in the Netherlands) trained under this program.
