are designed for learners who are typically aged 21 and above?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) targets experienced professionals, not recent graduates. While there is no strict legal age barrier, the curriculum demands prior managerial experience to contextualise complex strategic concepts like organisational capability and risk appetite. Entry requirements typically mandate a Level 6 qualification or significant professional experience, effectively filtering for candidates aged 21 and above. This ensures learners can critically engage with stakeholder mapping and governance issues. The programme is designed for those ready to transition into senior leadership, making it unsuitable for early-career individuals lacking practical boardroom exposure or strategic decision-making responsibility.
