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.

History: The institution's roots go back to the Bristol Trade School of 1856, which begat Bristol College of Science and Technology. This became the University of Bath School of Management in 1966, moving from Bristol to Bath in 1975. The MBA began in 1968.
Address: On a hill 650 feet above Jane Austen's beautiful spa town, a Unesco World Heritage site. Gorgeous views of the Mendip Hills.
Ambience: Friendly and spacious. Students keep fit by walking one mile up the hill from the town or by taking advantage of some of the best university facilities in the UK. There's an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a sports village.
Vital statistics: One of the oldest schools of management in Britain, with a strong reputation in teaching and research. It runs full-time and executive part-time programmes. MBA class sizes are kept to a maximum of 60.
Added value: The annual entrepreneurship project challenges all MBA students to propose a start-up business. Teams of students present their case for funding to a board made up of business executives, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, IP lawyers and academics. The school also has dedicated MBA careers and alumni offices.
Easy to get into? You will need at least three years' managerial experience and a good degree or professional qualification for the MBA.
