is equal to a Postgraduate?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is not a postgraduate degree itself, but it is classified at RQF Level 7, which is the same academic level as a UK master’s degree. This means the learning outcomes and complexity are equivalent to postgraduate study. However, it does not confer a master’s award. Its primary strategic value lies in its function as a top-up qualification. Upon successful completion, graduates can progress to a final-year MBA at partner universities. Therefore, while the diploma represents postgraduate-level learning, it serves as a pathway to a full postgraduate degree rather than being one in its own right.
