is level 7 qualification delivered by Queen's Graduate School, is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI)?

No, the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is not delivered by Queen's Graduate School nor accredited by the Chartered Management Institute. This specific qualification is awarded by OTHM and regulated by Ofqual (qualification number 603/2181/7). While CMI offers its own Level 7 diplomas, they are distinct products with separate accreditation and assessment frameworks. Confusing these providers can lead to incorrect assumptions about progression routes and recognition. Always verify the awarding body on the Ofqual register. For strategic management studies leading to an MBA top-up, OTHM’s framework provides the required 120 credits at master’s level, but it remains independent of CMI accreditation or Queen’s University delivery structures.
