City's tradition of providing high quality education relevant to business and the professions dates back 160 years. The University traces its origin to the Northampton Institute, established in 1852, and named after the Marquess of Northampton, who donated the land on which the Institute was built. The Institute was established to provide for the education and welfare of the local population. The six original departments at the Institute were: Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering; Artistic Crafts; Domestic Economy and Women's Trades; Electro-Chemistry; Horology (the science of time and art of clock-making); and Mechanical Engineering and Metal Trades). In 2001 the Inns of Court School of Law (founded in 1852) became part of the City Law School.
