can apply for an MBA top-up course?

Yes, graduates of the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) are eligible to apply for an MBA top-up course. This qualification is designed specifically as a precursor to a full Master of Business Administration. Upon successful completion of the 120 credits, learners can progress to the final year of an MBA programme at partner universities. This route allows you to gain a master’s degree without completing the full three-year undergraduate and postgraduate journey. The OTHM Level 7 diploma is regulated by Ofqual and recognised by UK higher education institutions. You must ensure the university accepts this specific qualification for entry. Typically, you will submit your transcript and a personal statement. Some institutions may require an interview. The top-up usually involves one or two modules, often including a strategic project or dissertation. This pathway is ideal for senior professionals seeking strategic direction and governance expertise. It offers a faster route to a master’s compared to starting a new degree. Ensure you check specific university entry requirements before applying.
