is a postgraduate qualification in the UK, Level 7 Award in Strategic Management & Leadership Practice?

No, the Level 7 Award in Strategic Management & Leadership Practice is a distinct qualification from the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits). While both sit at RQF Level 7, the Award is a smaller, 60-credit component often used for part-time study or as a building block. The Diploma, which this site focuses on, is a 120-credit qualification that provides the full academic credit requirement for an MBA top-up. The Award alone does not typically grant direct access to the final year of an MBA without additional modules. Always verify the specific credit value and title with the awarding body, OTHM, to ensure you are pursuing the 120-credit Diploma required for the MBA progression route.
