The Department of Geography at the University of Trondheim was established in 1975. In 1996, the former colleges of the University of Trondheim were merged into one single unit, which was named the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The Department is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Technology Management.
At present most of the Department's research activities are organised within the following themes:
