is a one-year qualification … taking less time to?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is not a fixed one-year qualification. It offers flexible study modes designed for working managers. The standard route typically spans nine to twelve months, allowing for balanced study alongside professional duties. Alternatively, the fast-track option compresses the curriculum into six months, requiring a higher weekly time commitment. This structure provides strategic direction for those seeking rapid progression. Unlike traditional postgraduate degrees with rigid semesters, this OTHM Level 7 qualification adapts to your schedule. You choose the pace that aligns with your organisational capability and personal risk appetite regarding workload. Both routes deliver the same 120 credits and lead to the same MBA top-up eligibility.
