can transfer these credits to partner universities to complete?

No, you cannot directly transfer the 120 credits from the OTHM Level 7 Diploma to a university as standalone credits. Instead, the qualification serves as a complete entry requirement for the final year of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or similar master’s degree at partner institutions. This is known as the MBA top-up route. Universities recognise the OTHM Level 7 Diploma as equivalent to the first two years of a UK master’s programme. Upon successful completion, you apply for the final year (typically 60 credits) at a recognised university. You do not transfer credits; you gain access to the final stage of a full master’s degree, allowing you to achieve a complete MBA qualification rather than holding a standalone diploma.
