is a modern academic institution built on excellence, innovation, and equal opportunity for all?

No. This query conflates institutional ethos with a specific regulated qualification. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is a vocational credential, not an institution. It is awarded by OTHM and regulated by Ofqual (603/2181/7). While the delivering college may uphold values of excellence and equal opportunity, the diploma itself is a master’s-level qualification focused on strategic direction, governance, and organisational capability. It does not possess institutional attributes. Your decision should rest on the curriculum’s alignment with your career goals, the robustness of its Ofqual regulation, and the clarity of the MBA top-up pathway, not on the philosophical positioning of the awarding body or provider.
