is particularly suitable for senior managers, department heads, business leaders, entrepreneurs?

Yes. This qualification targets senior managers, department heads, business leaders and entrepreneurs seeking master’s-level strategic direction without a full MBA. It focuses on organisational capability, governance and risk appetite rather than introductory management theory. The 120-credit structure allows working professionals to study online while applying concepts to their current stakeholder mapping challenges. It is not for junior staff seeking basic operational skills. Instead, it serves leaders ready to influence board-level decisions. The OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership provides the academic rigour required for MBA top-up progression. Candidates must demonstrate existing professional experience to engage meaningfully with the complex units. This ensures peer-to-peer learning quality and relevant, evidence-first discussions.
