Welcome to the Faculty of Geoscience and Environment at Benadir University. We are the first faculty of geological and environmental science to train geologists and environmentalists, and we offer a variety of courses and programs in the broad field of earth science and the environment, building on our several years of experience. The faculty has played a role in the development of the geology of Somalia and Africa. We have a diverse faculty covering the broad spectrum of programs that we offer as a faculty; our lecturers are among the best in their fields. We invite you to browse through our programs. “You will soon be convinced that our faculty offers the best possible options that you will need for a career in geology and the environment.”

FACULTY BACKGROUND

The Faculty of Geoscience and Environment is an infant in terms of its history since its establishment in August 2015. However, within a short period, it boomed quickly. The Faculty of Geoscience and Environment has managed well, acquiring capable lecturers and bringing in some of the equipment necessary for the smooth operation of high-quality teaching, as well as books and resources such as rock and mineral samples. A very visible achievement is the acquisition of a library of more than one hundred books of geology and research journals in various fields of geoscience, starting from 1976 to the present.

VISION

  • Address fundamental geosciences and environment questions regarding Earth’s transitions over space and time.
