Vice-Chancellor of Ho Technical University Brings Expertise in Transnational Education

Having recently joined Wittenborg’s International Academic Advisory Panel (IAAP), Professor Ben Honyenuga is an experienced academic leader and researcher who brings with him a strong commitment to supporting the school’s global mission. “I joined the IAAP to work with other academic colleagues to enhance and sustain the growing international reputation of Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences,” he says. 

Originally from Ghana, Honyenuga currently serves as Vice-Chancellor of Ho Technical University and has held several senior leadership roles in the Ghanaian higher education sector. His academic career spans over two decades, with experience in teaching, research and institutional development. A published author and recipient of multiple awards for his work, Honyenuga holds a PhD from the Open University of the Netherlands and multiple degrees from other institutions. 

Among his many contributions, he was part of a team that developed the Strategic Plan 2024–2028 for the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) and has participated in key international conferences on youth entrepreneurship and innovation. 

When reflecting on what sets Wittenborg apart, Honyenuga points to the school’s diversity. “Wittenborg stands out as the most diverse and inclusive international higher education institution in the Netherlands, and among the best hosts of international students worldwide.” 

He sees the institution moving towards becoming one of the finest business higher education providers globally and values the opportunity to engage with professors from around the world. “Networking with academics of varied nationalities and backgrounds has been one of the most valuable aspects of working in international education.” 

Outside academia, Professor Honyenuga enjoys playing tennis and listening to country music.
