what each level has in store?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) operates at RQF Level 7, equivalent to the final year of a UK master’s degree. This level demands strategic direction over operational execution. You will analyse organisational capability, map stakeholders and assess risk appetite within complex governance frameworks. Unlike undergraduate study, you are not learning management theory; you are applying it to solve real-world business problems. The curriculum focuses on high-level decision-making, ensuring you can navigate ambiguity and drive sustainable growth. This prepares you for senior leadership roles or the final step of an MBA top-up, where you synthesise these strategic insights into a comprehensive dissertation or project.
