are designed for directors and senior managers?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is explicitly designed for directors, senior managers, and experienced professionals seeking to formalise their strategic capability. While entry requirements typically demand significant managerial experience rather than just academic credentials, the curriculum assumes a working knowledge of organisational dynamics. It targets those responsible for strategic direction, stakeholder mapping, and governance, rather than entry-level staff. The 120 credits align with master’s level expectations, focusing on complex decision-making, risk appetite, and organisational capability. This ensures the content resonates with senior leaders who need to translate theory into board-level strategy, making it a relevant qualification for those already operating at a high level within their organisations.
