is 120 credits, and an MBA top-up program is 60 credits, totaling 180 credits (120 + 60)?
No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is a standalone 120-credit qualification. It does not include the MBA top-up. To achieve a full MBA, you must complete this 120-credit diploma and then enrol in a separate 60-credit MBA top-up module with a partner university. The total credits for a complete MBA are 180 (120 + 60), but they are delivered across two distinct stages. The diploma itself is strictly 120 credits. This structure allows working managers to validate strategic capability before committing to the final dissertation phase, ensuring rigorous governance and organisational capability development prior to the master’s degree conclusion.
