The Faculty of Natural Geography, and now the “Faculty of Natural Sciences,” has a long history of its formation and development.

The Donetsk Institute of Public Education (DINO) was created in 1923. The then only faculty of social education included chemical and biological classrooms. For the first students, courses were taught in chemistry, biology and child anatomy and physiology. Even then, students of the Faculty of Social Education completed coursework on the anatomy and physiology of the child. In 1927, on the basis of the Faculty of Social Education, the Faculty of Professional Education was created, where, among others, chemical and agrobiological departments were opened. In 1931, the Faculty of Natural Geography was founded. From the same year, it was possible to improve the qualifications of teachers of the agrobiological department in the branch of the All-Ukrainian Institute for Advanced Training of Teachers opened at DINO. So, the natural direction of training specialists at DINO existed from the moment of its opening, as evidenced by both the faculty album and the university archive.

Geographical, biological and chemical education of high quality gave the graduates of the faculty the opportunity to prove themselves not only in professional teaching activities, but also in various other industries and areas of professional activity. Today our graduates successfully work in law enforcement agencies, in business, in politics, in scientific institutions, and in local governments.

Two deputy deans are involved in organizing the educational process at the faculty. The Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs is responsible for planning, organizing and monitoring the quality of the educational process. Since 2015, these duties have been performed by the senior lecturer of the Department of Laboratory Diagnostics, Anatomy and Physiology - Natalya Nikolaevna Skripnik. Social and humanitarian work with students of the faculty is carried out under the leadership of the deputy dean for social and humanitarian work - teacher of the Department of Geography Yulia Yuryevna Chikina.

Employees of the dean's office - leading specialist Elena Agarkova and secretary Anna Patalakha - actively help in the daily work of organizing the educational process at the faculty. Agarkova E. is responsible for organizing the educational process in the correspondence department and in the master's program of the faculty. Patalakha A. conducts the department's office work and also helps full-time students with solving certain organizational issues.
