can complete 60 credits to qualify for the award of MBA?
No. Completing 60 credits of the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) does not qualify you for an MBA award. The full 120-credit qualification is the mandatory prerequisite for entry into a university’s final-year MBA top-up programme. Universities require the complete diploma to verify that you have mastered all strategic management competencies and achieved the required master’s-level standard. Partial completion yields no standalone award and holds no academic value for progression. You must finish the entire 120-credit course to be eligible to apply for the final year of an accredited MBA, where you will complete additional university-specific modules to receive the full degree.
