can work through at your own pace?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) offers flexible pacing, but it is not entirely self-directed without structure. While you can manage your weekly study hours around professional commitments, the programme operates within fixed submission deadlines for each unit. You are not bound to synchronous lectures, allowing you to engage with materials asynchronously. However, to maintain academic rigour and meet the Ofqual-regulated standards, you must adhere to a structured timeline. Most learners choose between a standard nine-month route or a fast-track six-month option. Within these windows, you have autonomy over daily scheduling, but final assessment submissions are time-bound to ensure timely progression toward the MBA top-up.
