Academics Honorary Program (AHP)

This exchange program attaches or adjuncts academics with other universities. This is a largely online program but we continuously explore opportunities for physical opportunities. This arrangement has advantages of allowing knowledge transfer. It also ensures that African academics who are teaching outside their countries or outside Africa have an opportunity contribute to Africa. An academic can be honored or adjunct for a semester/session, year, a number of years or for life. These appointments are different from Visiting positions but are the same as Adjunct positions. The opportunities that we seek are:

Honorary Tutor
