can be a qualification worth 37 or?

No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management Diploma is a fixed 120-credit qualification. It is not worth 37 credits. This confusion often stems from comparing it to individual postgraduate modules, which typically carry 20 credits, or misinterpreting the 37-week fast-track study duration as a credit value. The OTHM Level 7 Diploma comprises six distinct units, each worth 20 credits, totaling 120 credits at RQF Level 7. This credit volume is equivalent to one-third of a full master’s degree. When progressing to an MBA top-up, universities recognise these 120 credits as fulfilling the taught component of the master’s programme. The remaining 60 credits for the full MBA are gained through the dissertation or research project at the partner university. Always verify the total credit value on the Ofqual register to ensure you are pursuing the complete diploma, not a partial certificate.
