are committed to making our application process accessible to everyone?

The claim that the application process is committed to accessibility for everyone is a marketing assertion rather than a regulatory fact. As an Ofqual-regulated qualification (603/2181/7), the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) requires specific academic or professional entry criteria to ensure master’s-level rigour. While OTHM-approved centres may offer flexible support for diverse learners, including those with non-traditional backgrounds, they cannot waive mandatory prerequisites such as a bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience. Accessibility here refers to online delivery and payment flexibility, not lowered academic standards. Prospective students should verify specific centre policies regarding reasonable adjustments, but must expect standardised entry requirements to maintain the qualification’s strategic management and leadership credibility within the UK qualifications framework.
