About This Course

Level 7 Strategic Management at ICSA

Master's Degree Equivalent. The QUALIFI Level 7 carries 120 UK credits at the same RQF Level 7 as a UK Master's degree — and is accepted by many UK universities for MBA, MSc, and PhD programme entry.

The QUALIFI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management is a postgraduate-level qualification designed for senior managers, executives, business owners, and ambitious professionals who want to operate with confidence at the highest strategic level. It sits at the same academic level as a UK Master's degree and is internationally recognised as evidence of advanced business and leadership capability.

At Level 7, the expectation is clear: you think like a strategist, write like a postgraduate scholar, and connect theory to real organisational decisions with analytical rigour. ICSA provides the structured academic support to get you there — from teaching sessions and assignment workshops through to draft review and one-to-one tutor access across the full nine months.
