should be 21 or older at the time of enrollment?

No, there is no mandatory minimum age requirement of 21 for the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits). OTHM and Ofqual regulations focus on academic readiness rather than age. Entry typically requires a relevant Level 6 qualification, such as a bachelor’s degree, or significant senior management experience. While most candidates are established professionals aged 25+, younger graduates with appropriate prior learning or substantial work history can enrol. The primary gatekeeper is demonstrating the strategic capability and organisational understanding necessary for master’s-level study, not chronological age.
