depends on the sentance really...you would say in the english department if you were stating you had found something their but if you were saying that something happened there it would be at the english department....
those are two examples of when you would use in and at
hope that is of some use

I think it depends on context, but usually "in." Consider the following: Professor Charles works in the English Department. In this sentence "the English Department" is an area, but not a physical location. I think we tend to use at for physical location.

Either; in my own usage I would say "in the English Department" if I were thinking of it as a department or organisation but "at the English Department" if I were thinking of it as a physical place.
"Mr Brown works in the English Department. "
"Our photocopier is broken but they have one over at the English Department" (Actually, I might also say "in the English Department" in that case")

"In the English Department".

It depends. If you are referring to a team or group, use 'in', if you are referring to a part of the building/place, use 'at'.
