This study aims to examine the impact of brand image on public university links in the context of
autonomy in Vietnam. Using quantitative research methods through exploratory factor analysis
(EFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the survey data included 631 samples of managers, experts, and scientists at public universities divided by different disciplines. The results of
the study showed that the brand image has both a direct and indirect impact on public university
links in the context of autonomy through intermediate elements of trust and commitment in the
relationship between universities. In addition, trust has also been shown to have a direct impact
on commitment in the relationship between public universities in Vietnam in the context of autonomy. In the context of research in Vietnam, the findings of this study have shown both theoretical and practical contributions and will be an important basis for further research
