Are you an ambitious practising or aspiring Senior Manager or Director, determined to improve your leadership and strategic management?

This qualification targets senior professionals seeking board-level strategic capability. It is designed for practising managers aiming for director roles or career-changers entering strategic leadership. The curriculum focuses on organisational capability, risk appetite and governance rather than foundational management theory. You will analyse complex business scenarios, develop strategic direction and execute stakeholder mapping exercises. This aligns with master’s level expectations on the RQF. It is not for entry-level staff. The programme assumes you already possess operational experience. You will produce evidence-based strategic plans, not generic essays. This prepares you for the MBA top-up route by ensuring you can critically evaluate organisational performance. It is strictly for those ready to engage with high-stakes decision-making frameworks. The online format supports working professionals who need flexibility without compromising academic rigour.
