What does a level 7 diploma equate to?

The OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership equates to the first year of a UK Master’s degree, specifically sitting at RQF Level 7. It holds the same academic standing as a taught Master’s module block, comprising 120 credits. Crucially, it is not a full Master’s qualification itself but serves as a recognised entry route to an MBA top-up. Universities accept this diploma to grant exemption from the first year of their MBA programmes, allowing you to complete the final dissertation or capstone project to achieve the full Master’s award. This structure provides master’s-level strategic management knowledge without the initial commitment of a full degree.
