Introduction
It is one of most critical aspect for the study, in this section different literature documents

information which the researcher has gathered from a range of secondary sources is presented.
This section of study consists of the works of other authors and researchers who have done

literature in regard to Brexit will be considered as critical aspect. It will assist in meeting
objectives and provide better understanding.
Concept of BREXIT
As per the view of Howard and Kollanyi (2016), it can be said that BREXIT is
considered as an abbreviation for British Exit. This abbreviation is mainly installed in year 2016
on 23 June. It has been noticed that on 23 June, 2016 the citizens of UK has participated in open
voting to understand the perception of nation towards exit from European Union. It has been
noticed that BREXIT voting process has influenced working of diverse sectors within UK and
Europe because Britain is one of key participant in Europe economy. By having exit from EU the
trade working and other policies are being changed as legal values of EU has also transformed in
context to UK. Oliver (2016) has stated that referendum roiled global markets, including
currencies. It also impacts the economic development of UK because trade activities and global
perception towards UK has changed in diverse manner. In addition to this, it can be said that
BREXIT is one of influencing topic for UK because it has also influenced government
administrations. On July 13, Prime Minister David Cameron has resigned from the
administrative post because he was in the support of European Union. It has resulted that home
secretary and leader of Conservative Party named Theresa May has become Prime Minister.
According to Armstrong and van de Ven (2016), it can be said that supporters of
BREXIT has presented their views on different aspects that are linked with European debt crises.
Experts has also discussed the global competitiveness of British businesses, if UK exit from
European Union. Number of meeting, discussions and conferences has been taken into account
from government and experts to evaluate the social, psychological and economic impact on UK
due to BREXIT. Compression in respect to EU support and BREXIT was also one of key
element that has been considered during that period before conducting an open voting on 23

June, 2016. Key reason behind BREXIT is that many people of UK believe that consideration of
EU limits the development of UK policies and economy (Barnard and Ludlow, 2016). As a
member of EU, UK government need to design governing policies as per consideration of EU
standards that means free and independent policy formation was not there. Many people believe
that if policies and procedures are design in flexible manner then it will allow to have effective
application. It is also beneficial for promotion of governing activities and meet objective of
sustainable development. It means, following view point of experts has forced promotion of
BREXIT. (Baker, Ali and Thrasher, 2016) has also contended that being a member of EU, it was
essential to provide in-depth information about policies of EU. It reduces the level of
competitiveness in European market because most of information was shared under EU that
allows other member nations also to adopt same policy. It can also be considered as another
reason that has promoted the act of BREXIT.
Corbett (2016) has argued that UK was always in oppose of EU and its standards that is
one of key reason that Britain has already decided to not follow European Union's monetary
policy. As per detailed study, European Union's monetary policy forces to use euro as a currency
in trade activities but UK has opposed the policy and started using pound as a medium of
monetary transaction. It clearly indicates that UK is not ready to share its competitiveness with
any other nation in the Europe. It also reflects that UK does not share open borders with a
number of other European nations. Shaw (2016) has asserted that British vote to leave the
European Union is likely to impose major instability on top of economic fragility and artificial
financial markets. In addition to this, it can be said that experts of UK believe that if UK
economic conditions will impact due to EU exit then it will also influence the competitiveness of
other nations in European state. It is because majority of EU nations trade activities are
associated with Britain. Experts perception indicates that UK is enough capable to overcome
such economic crises which will allow to gain competitive advantage over its competitor nations.
Factors that impact perception of Indian students'
According to Babonneau, Haurie and Vielle (2016), there are number of factors that
impact the perception of Indian students' while having participation in decision making process.
One of key factor that influences students' perception is qualities of academic program according
to their needs. If education program is beneficial for student in order to meet career objectives
then Indian student will be attracted to join the program. Davies (2016) has stated that opinion
