Qualifi Level 7 Diploma in Executive Management

Qualifi words it as aimed at those seeking middle and executive level roles in medium or large corporations, so the honest answer is that it is written for the approach rather than the arrival. If you already sit on an executive committee, much of the breadth may be familiar. If you run one department competently and keep getting passed over because you cannot speak to finance or supply chain, the eight-unit spread is the point of it.

The page lists eight and marks none as optional, so treat all eight as required. What is missing is the credit value of each one, which Qualifi does not publish, so we cannot tell you whether corporate strategy carries more weight than project management or whether the 120 credits divide evenly. The centre specification holds that detail and your approved centre can walk you through it.

Qualifi publishes a single onward option: a dissertation to complete a master's degree at a UK university. It states this flatly, with no "subject to approval" and no university named, so the warning has to be ours. This diploma is not a master's degree and does not award one. Whether any university admits you, how much of your study it credits and what dissertation it sets are decisions that institution makes on its own terms. Open those conversations with the universities themselves, and open them early.

Because Qualifi does not list it on this particular page. Sister awards at this level usually add employment in an associated profession alongside one or two others; this page offers only the master's dissertation. We are reporting what is published rather than filling the gap. It does not mean the qualification is unsuitable for work — it means Qualifi has not made a claim about it, and neither will we.

Structure, mainly. The Business Strategy award gives you six mandatory units plus a specialism route you choose, and admits through an interview. This one fixes all eight units with no choice at all, and admits on a Level 6 qualification or first degree. Pick this if you want deliberate breadth across every executive function; pick the other if you want to go deeper in one named area.

None published, correct. Two bullets make up the entire entry section here: a Level 6 qualification, or a first degree. Several sister awards at Level 7 add a minimum age, an IELTS 6 requirement and two references, but this page is silent on all of it, and silence is not permission to copy across another award's rules. Centres can apply their own checks, so confirm with yours before you apply.
