is designed for senior managers, directors and CEOs?

No, the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is not exclusively designed for CEOs or directors, though it aligns with their strategic responsibilities. It targets experienced managers, senior professionals, and career-changers seeking master’s-level strategic competence without a full MBA. Entry typically requires a Level 6 qualification or significant managerial experience, not a specific job title. The curriculum focuses on strategic direction, governance, and organisational capability, preparing learners for senior leadership roles. While CEOs may enrol for CPD or formalisation of experience, the programme is equally suited for aspiring directors and senior managers aiming to bridge the gap between operational management and executive strategy. It serves as a flexible, regulated pathway for those ready to engage with complex strategic issues, regardless of current hierarchical position, provided they meet the academic or experiential entry criteria.
