Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'academic' (pertaining to schools or scholarship) modifying 'department' (a division or specialized unit); together they straightforwardly denote a division within a university or school focused on a subject area. This noun-noun compositional pattern is productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The term academic department comes from the idea of a school divided into parts for each subject. Each department is like a room where academic staff, teachers and researchers, work together, so the phrase now means the division in a school responsible for 'teaching' and 'research' in that subject.
