Abstract

Most of higher education institutions in Southeast Asia and in countries around the world are multidisciplinary universities, while Vietnamese higher education institutions are mainly narrow or mono-disciplinary ones. So that when these narrow or mono-disciplinary institutions merge together to form multidisciplinary universities that include natural sciences, engineering and technology, economic, law, medical, education, social sciences and humanities... models of university council should be implemented. University council and university autonomy are very different between countries of continental Europe, England, America and Asian countries... The number of members and organizational structure are different too. World models of university council continue to evolve in many ways. However the model of university governance of a not-for-profit organization becomes more popular and appropriate for both public and private universities.
