where at your own pace, 100% online?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is designed for working managers who require flexibility without compromising rigour. Studying 100% online means all materials, tutor support and assessment submissions occur via a dedicated learning platform, accessible from any location. The "at your own pace" model applies within structured study windows. You choose between a standard nine-month route or a fast-track six-month option. While deadlines are fixed to ensure cohort progression, the asynchronous nature allows you to schedule study hours around professional commitments. This structure supports strategic direction planning and organisational capability development without disrupting current employment. It is not a self-paced, open-ended course; it demands consistent engagement with complex units covering governance, risk appetite and stakeholder mapping. The online format ensures immediate access to resources and peer discussions, facilitating a board-level learning experience suitable for senior professionals seeking an OTHM Level 7 qualification that serves as a direct pathway to an MBA top-up.
