If you have the name of the university, try checking it\'s website - they may have an official name in English. I recently needed FAM (Fachgruppe für Angewandte Mechanik) at Paderborn University and they call themselves \"Institute of Applied Engineering\" although they are part of the engineering department
But within a university, most people refer to e.g. the chemistry department rather than the chemistry institute.

This is how the word Lehrstuhl would be translated in the United States, Japan, and Hong Kong, the countries on the other side of the Atlantic with which I am most familiar.
