is programme provides 120 credits out of the 180?

Yes. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) comprises exactly 120 credits. This represents two-thirds of the 180 credits required for a full UK master’s degree. The remaining 60 credits are completed through a dedicated MBA top-up module at a partner university. This structure allows working managers to gain substantial master’s-level knowledge in strategic direction and organisational capability before committing to the final dissertation or project phase. The 120-credit diploma is regulated by Ofqual (qualification number 603/2181/7) and serves as the primary academic prerequisite for the final stage of the MBA, ensuring seamless progression without repeating core strategic management units.
