is course is designed for practising or aspiring senior managers, regional managers, specialist managers, or directors?

This qualification targets practising senior managers, regional heads, and directors seeking formal master’s-level validation of their strategic experience. It is equally suited to specialist managers aiming for executive roles, provided they possess substantial professional responsibility. The curriculum demands prior engagement with organisational capability, governance, and stakeholder mapping, making it unsuitable for entry-level candidates. Learners must demonstrate the ability to analyse complex business environments and influence strategic direction. The 120-credit structure aligns with RQF Level 7, ensuring parity with postgraduate study. It serves as a robust bridge to an MBA top-up, focusing on applied leadership rather than theoretical abstraction.
