is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes the highest quality original research on leadership?

No, the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is a vocational qualification, not an academic journal. It is an OTHM-accredited, OfQual-regulated course (603/2181/7) designed for working managers to develop strategic direction, organisational capability and governance skills. While the curriculum requires engagement with peer-reviewed literature to inform evidence-based decision-making and stakeholder mapping, the programme itself delivers 120 credits of master’s-level study through written assignments, not research publication. Graduates often progress to an MBA top-up, where original research may be required, but the diploma focuses on applied strategic leadership rather than contributing new theoretical knowledge to academic discourse.
