The Brexit vote damaged young Europeans' view of the U.K. but those further afield take the opposite view, according to a new survey.

According to the British Council, which ordered the study, 36 percent of young Europeans from France, Germany and Italy thought Britain had become less attractive as a result of the Brexit vote, while 17 percent thought it was a more attractive place.

Thirty percent of young French, Germans and Italians said they were less likely to study in Britain post-Brexit, with just 5 percent saying they were more likely to choose the U.K. Almost a third of respondents said they were less likely to do business with Britain after Brexit.

In Australia, Canada, South Africa and India — the four G20 countries that belong to the Commonwealth — the majority of respondents thought Brexit had made Britain more attractive. One-third of respondents said it was a positive move and one in five thought it was a bad move.

Figures were similar for other G20 countries, including Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, Turkey and the U.S., where 35 percent of young people saw Brexit as a positive and 17 percent as a negative event.

Brexit didn't change the likelihood of young people from G20 countries outside Europe choosing to study in the U.K., according to the study.

However, young people worldwide were not very well informed about the relationship between the EU and the U.K., with 44 percent believing it had already left the bloc. Around 70 percent of respondents knew about the referendum and the same number knew what the result was.
