Which countries accept OTHM?

OTHM qualifications are Ofqual regulated, meaning they sit on the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). This provides automatic recognition across the UK and Ireland. Internationally, acceptance depends on the specific country’s higher education authority and the partner university offering the MBA top-up. Many Commonwealth nations, including Australia, Canada, and several Asian countries, recognise RQF Level 7 as equivalent to a master’s degree. However, you must verify recognition with the local academic authority in your target country. For the MBA top-up, the awarding university’s global recognition is the primary factor, not just OTHM itself. Always check with your intended employer or professional body for specific validation.
