can pursue executive-level roles?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) equips you for executive roles by mastering strategic direction, governance and organisational capability.

When combined with your existing experience, this 120-credit qualification bridges the gap between operational management and strategic leadership. It is widely recognised by UK employers as equivalent to the first year of an MBA, making it a credible credential for executive career progression and the subsequent MBA top-up.
