Management and Leadership Level 7

The programme has been developed to meet the needs of practicing managers and those who aspire to a career in management. The qualification links to the NVQs in management at Level 7 and form part of a professional qualification pathway for managers. The qualification has been designed with regard to the requirements of various MBA programmes, allowing the possibility of negotiating exemptions from such courses.

You will study a range of core units during this course.

• There are nine units in this qualification including:
• Personal development as a strategic leader
• Strategic performance management
• Financial management
• Strategic information management
• Conducting a strategic management project
• Organisational direction
• Plus 3 other units

The course fee includes membership of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) who are the awarding body for this qualification.

Although a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Management Studies is the principal entry requirement for this course, applicants with a relevant degree (e.g. Business), or with substantial senior management experience will also be welcome. You must have 3+ years full or part time employment (continuous voluntary/charity role could be considered too).

All modules are assessed by coursework, there are no examinations. Some modules are assessed by an assignment based on the workplace, others are based on case studies or practical tasks.

This course can be upgraded to a Postgraduate Diploma by the study of further CMI units at Level 7. Other alternatives include:

MBA at the University of Bath or Gloucester
MSc in Strategic Management at the University of Bristol
Various other postgraduate (i.e. Masters Degree) Awards
