Education 4.0 represents a smart education model with tight interconnections between multiple organizations, including educational institutions, management bodies, and businesses. This collaboration creates an optimal learning environment, enabling students to develop their skills and adapt to the labor market's dynamics in the context of the 4.0 technological revolution. In recent years, the Interior Design department of Hanoi Architectural University has maintained a cooperative relationship with businesses in the interior design sector through various activities, such as seminars, workshops, and competitions. This study aimed to evaluate the current state of these collaborative efforts. Subsequently, it proposed solutions to enhance the effectiveness of integrating business practices into university education. The study relies primarily on data collected from surveys of 50 businesses involved in interior design linked with the Interior Design department of Hanoi Architectural University. The proposed solutions were tailored to the specific nature of the educational sector and addressed practical business requirements, focusing on achieving university autonomy.
