ACADEMIC SKILLS2
Introduction:
Immigration to the United Kingdom has emerged out to be one of the most prevalent
trend of the modern times. It should be noted in this context, that according to the recent
statistical findings, it has been estimated that the migration rate of immigrants to UK is much
higher than any other European Nations. The major underlying reason being better life style and
improved employment opportunities. Further, it should also be mentioned that, the rate of
migration has exceeded by almost 300 percent from the year 1975 to 2015 as published by the
official website of the UK government. The first section of the report would talk about the week
6 discussion and answer questions based on understanding the trend of emigrant entry into the
nation. The second, part of the assignment would discuss about globalization and the impact of
‘BREXIT’ on the immigration policy of United Kingdom. Finally the concluding section of the
assignment would be addressed with the help of a power point presentation and also present a
critical reflection on the experience of delivering the presentation.
