is a comprehensive 120-credit diploma programme awarded by QUALIFI?

No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is awarded by OTHM (Open University of Health and Medicine), not QUALIFI. While both are regulated awarding bodies on the Ofqual register, they are distinct entities with separate qualification numbers. This specific diploma holds qualification number 603/2181/7 under OTHM. Confusing the two can impact university top-up applications, as partner institutions have specific agreements with OTHM for MBA progression. Always verify the awarding body on the Ofqual register before enrolment to ensure your credits align with your target university’s entry requirements for the final master’s degree.
