are only offered at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford?

No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is not exclusive to the University of Cambridge or the University of Oxford. These institutions do not offer this specific OTHM-awarded qualification. Instead, the diploma is delivered by various private training providers and colleges across the UK and internationally. Upon completion, learners access the MBA top-up route through a network of partner universities, which includes institutions such as the University of East London, University of Bedfordshire, and others, rather than the Russell Group elites. This structure allows working managers to gain master’s-level recognition without the prohibitive entry barriers or fees associated with Oxbridge. The qualification is regulated by Ofqual and awarded by OTHM, ensuring standardised quality regardless of the delivery partner.
