Could you please tell me if the below writing is grammatical and idiomatic?
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I would like to enroll as an international graduate student at your university. Could you please tell me if admissions are still open for research programs at Civil and Environment Engineering Department? Moreover, what is the procedure to apply for a research-based program at your department?

The name of the department should likely be preceded by “the”. Also, I’m not sure whether the programs would be considered “at the department” or “in the department”. Otherwise, the sentences are correct.

wilpeterAlso, I’m not sure whether the programs would be considered “at the department” or “in the department”.Is there any difference between these two prepositional phrases here?

It is a long time since my school years, but to me - if you are at school, you are also in school. You can be at a bus stop but not in a bus stop (unless it's a shelter). I'll see if the moderator has some input.
