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.

Higher education has always been, by its nature, an international activity and never has that been more true than today. The United Kingdom has a higher education system of unparalleled variety and diversity, with institutions in every possible setting and over 55,000 undergraduate courses from which to choose.

One of the great benefits of higher education is the opportunity it provides to meet people of different backgrounds and cultures and you will have abundant opportunities of this kind if you come to study here, and not just from meeting our home-grown students.

Thousands of international students study in the UK every year because of the sheer range and quality of the opportunities in our higher education system. They are welcomed by their institutions and communities and they bring fresh thinking and a different perspective to our universities and colleges, which is greatly valued.

If you are planning to study here in the UK, we hope to offer you an educational experience which will be both enriching and stimulating. Which Way UK is designed to help you find your way through the UK higher education system and to provide plenty of practical advice on how to adapt to the culture of Britain. We hope you find it useful and enjoy both your education and your stay here.
