is a 120-credit course that covers a range of modules, including Finance for Managers, Strategic?

No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) does not include a unit titled Finance for Managers. The qualification comprises four mandatory units: Strategic Management, Strategic Leadership, Strategic Human Resource Management, and Strategic Marketing. These units focus on high-level organisational capability, governance, and stakeholder mapping rather than technical financial analysis. While financial acumen is embedded within the Strategic Management unit, it is not a standalone module. This structure ensures the curriculum remains distinct from generic business studies, targeting senior professionals seeking strategic direction over operational finance skills. The Ofqual-regulated framework (603/2181/7) mandates this specific content to align with master’s-level outcomes.
