Coase Scholarships

How the Coase Scholarship was established

A generous endowment from the Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Ronald Coase has enabled us to offer new scholarships to study a range of Economics courses at The University of Buckingham. There are 14 Scholarships now available for September 2024 entry.

Coase was inspired by his undergraduate economics education and went on to make a major change to the way we look at the world. His radical analysis of markets and firms established whole new areas of economic enquiry: www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/1991/coase/facts/
