The word 'Department' is redundant in the given sentence .

Explanation

The degree of redundancy is measured by observing the number of a single word used repeatedly.

There are no grammatical errors but the usage of the word is done unnecessarily making the sentence complex to understand.

As these words do not have additional meaning,it is appreciated to avoid redundant words.

Other common redundant phrases include- Bald-headed( word bald is commonly used to describe head), Foreign imports ( the act of import is always done to foreign countries).

Here, the word 'Department' is used two times- i) after following the verb and ii) again at the end. So, it is redundant.
