Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Cambridge University has come top of an international league table ranking institutions on the employability of their graduates.
The university moves up from third place last year – knocking Oxford University, which moves down to fourth place, off the top spot. However, the organisers of the league table – French human resources consultancy Emerging and German polling institute Trendence – have issued a warning to Western universities that Asian institutions could be about to knock them off their perch.
The table shows the proportion of Asian universities in the top 150 has doubled in the past four years from 10 per cent to 20 per cent.
Five UK universities in total were ranked in the global top 20, with University College London (14th), Imperial College London (15th) and Edinburgh (18th).
Harvard and Yale - two of the US 'Ivy League' of universities - came second and third.
