is programme provides 120 credits out of the?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) delivers exactly 120 credits at RQF Level 7. This volume is the standard requirement for a UK master’s level award. It does not constitute a full MBA, which typically requires 180 credits. Instead, these 120 credits serve as the essential academic prerequisite for the final stage of an MBA programme. Upon successful completion, graduates hold a regulated qualification recognised by Ofqual. This credential enables progression to the MBA top-up module, usually comprising a 60-credit dissertation or strategic project. The structure ensures that learners acquire the strategic direction and governance skills necessary for senior roles while maintaining a clear, efficient pathway to a full master’s degree.
