are designed for senior leaders and managers looking to enhance their strategic skills and drive organisational success?

No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is designed for experienced managers and professionals seeking master’s-level strategic competence, not exclusively senior leaders. While it enhances strategic skills and drives organisational success, it targets individuals ready to advance into strategic roles, not those already at the executive level. The programme focuses on developing critical thinking, governance, and stakeholder mapping capabilities. It serves as a rigorous academic bridge to an MBA top-up, requiring significant professional experience but not current senior leadership status. Entry requirements typically include a Level 6 qualification or substantial managerial experience. The curriculum equips learners with tools for strategic direction and risk appetite management, preparing them for higher-level decision-making rather than assuming they already hold C-suite positions. This distinction ensures accessibility for high-potential managers while maintaining academic rigour.
