The Post-Graduate Diploma in Strategic Management (L7PGDip.SM) (IQF/RQF) curriculum consists of an MBA Formative Assessment (L7PGDip.Man Module-mapped Tests) (IQF) supplemented by a L7PGDip.Man (RQF-Ofqual Summative Assessment (6 Mini-Module-mapped Assignments) (120 credits of 180 credits required for a full MBA Degree). Completion of the L7PGDip.SM (RQF-Ofqual) (MBA Formative Theory) qualifies the candidate to registration for the MBA Top-Up (MBA Capstone/Thesis) resulting in a full UK Master's of Business Administration (Strategic Management) (MBA Degree).  During the L7PGDip.SM (MBA Formative Theory) (RQF-Ofqual Assessment) the student will briefly review modules completed during the L7PGDip.SM (IQF) to refresh their understanding of subject matter in anticipation of the submission of prescribed module-mapped assignments as prescribed by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) in the United Kingdom. 

This qualification solidifies the theory of advanced business management (Generic Curriculum) applicable to the global business environment. Using an immersive and supported learning model, the student will enhance their managerial and leadership competencies at a fraction of the cost and commitment of a traditional Master of Business Administration (MBA). 

This ensures that the student covers curriculum components taught at universities and business schools globally while meeting the UK-Ofqual prescribed curricula requirements. The utilisation of both the UniQual and Ofqual Qualification Frameworks ensures that curriculum composition, assessment methodology and study outcomes meet globally accepted requirements associated with prominent accredited academic institutions and guarantees that the learner/student. after completion of his/her studies, will be adequately prepared for both the academic as well as the competitive global management environment.

The Post-Graduate Diploma in Management (L7PGDip.SM) (IQF) is delivered via the EduVisa EduNet and enables the learner/student in both a rural and an urban environment to study while still fulfilling their personal and employment responsibilities.

EduVisa University College offers a fast-track Integrated Master of Business Administration (iMBA) Degree Programme which combines a traditional generic Bachelor's in Business Management curriculum with a generic Master's in Business Management curriculum. This provides the career/profession driven student/employee with a cost- and time-saving MBA Degree in combination with an Ofqual certified Post-Graduate Diploma in Management ( L7PGDip.Man (IQF/RQF) (See Dual Qualification). In addition, the successful student also qualifies for profession-based membership of Chartered/Royal Institutes in the United Kingdom (See UK Professional/Industry Certification).  

EduVisa University College, line with our Ofqual-directed academic outcomes, follows a Trimester-based curriculum approach which allows for an academic year to be completed within an active study period of two trimesters (8 months) instead of the traditional and outdated two-semester system (12 months) which forces the student to sit out a 12-month calendar year before being allowed to progress to a next academic level.  This approach, supported by many leading international universities and business schools, as well as by Ofqual, enables the student to immediately progress to the next academic level (year) as soon as the current level (eg. L4Dip.Man, L5Dip.Man, L7Dip.Man etc) has been completed. This potentially shortens the total MBA Degree Programme (L4Dip.Man + L5HDip.Man + L6GDip.Man + L7PGDip.Man + MBA Top-Up to between 30 and 38 months (depending on the progress of the student).
