Abstract: Abstract The City University was granted its Charter in 1966. It was founded in 1894 as Northampton Institute, the site between St. John Street and Northampton Square being gifted by the then Marquess of Northampton. The other founding benefactors were the City Parochial Foundation, and the Skinners’ and Saddlers’ Livery Companies. In 1900 it was re-named Northampton Engineering College to reflect its orientation. By 1924 the college was called the Northampton Polytechnic Institute. In 1957 it was one of the polytechnics given the status of a College of Advanced Technology, thus recognising the academic qualities it had developed over the years. Until this time, management and business played little part in the curricula of the courses on offer. Only a minor element was taught by the Production Engineering Department to satisfy the requirements of one of the professional engineering institutions.
