is an 80 credit qualification?

No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Diploma Online – MBA Top-Up Route is a 120-credit qualification, not 80 credits. It sits at RQF Level 7, equivalent to master’s degree level. The 120 credits are split into 10 units, each worth 12 credits. This structure aligns with UK higher education standards and enables progression to an MBA top-up at partner universities. An 80-credit qualification would typically be a Level 6 postgraduate certificate or a partial master’s module, which does not meet the full diploma requirement. Always verify the credit value on the Ofqual register (603/2181/7) to avoid confusion with shorter, non-equivalent courses.
