How to Pay Your Fees?

Eleanor Whitfield, Programme Editor, Strategic Management. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) offers flexible payment structures designed for working managers who require cash-flow predictability while committing to postgraduate study. You are not required to pay the full tuition fee upfront. Instead, the programme supports a phased approach that aligns with your study mode, whether you choose the standard nine-month track or the intensive six-month fast-track option. Understanding the financial commitment is part of strategic direction in your career development. The fees cover access to the regulated curriculum, tutor support, and the assessment framework required for the OTHM Level 7 qualification. Below is a breakdown of how payments are structured, what influences the total cost, and how to manage the financial aspect alongside your professional responsibilities. Payment Options and Instalment Plans The primary method of payment is via instalments, which reduces the immediate financial burden. This is particularly beneficial for senior professionals who may be self-funding their development. The instalment plan typically splits the total fee into two or three manageable payments. 1. Initial Deposit: A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place on the programme. This confirms your commitment and triggers the release of your learning materials and access to the online learning platform. 2. Subsequent Instalments: The remaining balance is divided into equal monthly payments. These are usually scheduled to coincide with your assessment deadlines or module completion
