The history of the geophysics department has been lasted for about half a century: from 1951 to 2000. Due to external factors, its departmental structure took a long time to form; the names of departments, heads, and deans have changed. Staff members were the most gifted graduates of the initial department of geophysics. This circumstance was largely due to scientific and pedagogical authority of the department as one of the leading centers of Soviet geophysics in all its main directions: electrical prospecting, borehole geophysics, geochemistry, radiometrics and nuclear geophysics, gravity and magnetics, seismic measurements. In 2000, the Institute of Geology and Geophysics was established on the basis of the geological and geophysics departments. It was rearranged into the Department of Geology and Geophysics ten years later.
