The Department of Geography at National Taiwan University was founded in 1955, as the first geography department in Taiwan. It began offering a graduate program in 1981, and was established as an innovative and influential program leading to the Ph.D. degree in 1989.

The Department belongs to the College of Science and supports cutting-edge research in human geography, physical geography, and geospatial technology. The research activities of the Department have diversified over the years. Although primarily focusing on Taiwan, broader geographical areas, both within the local region and beyond, have represented the research interests of the staff.

Multiple research themes and clusters form the research interests and education focuses of the Department. (1.) Physical geography: Environmental Processes Research Cluster; Environmental Management and Monitoring Research Cluster; (2.) Human geography: Crossover investment and governance, transnational flows and immigration, cultural politics and identities, urban/regional development and governance; (3.) Geographical information sciences: GIS Research Cluster, Remote Sensing Research Cluster, Cartography Research Cluster.
