Abstract
This research was carried out to examine the role of university brand capital in Spanish private universities. To get the aim, an empirical study is carried out with a quantitative sample of 993 valid responses from different agents involved (343 lecturers, 164 service staff and 486 students). The results obtained show the impact of each of the variables of brand capital at the educational level and, in particular, the importance of building brand image to maximize the perception of brand capital in Spanish private universities. At the same time, there are significant differences in perception among the different university agents involved, being the service staff the highest average in all variables, such as: (1) brand awareness, (2) brand image, (3) perceived quality and (4) brand loyalty.Keywords
