Emeka studied Level 7 Strategic Management and Leadership (MBA Entry) at OBS.
Here’s what he had to say about his experience!
What motivated you to enrol in our program?
I chose Online Business School for its flexibility and its practical approach to leadership and strategic management. The recognised qualification framework and progression options also played an important role in my decision.
How would you describe your experience with Online Business School?
Overall, I had a good learning experience. The Study Hub was easy to navigate, and the tutorial videos and example assignments were especially helpful. Tutor support was responsive, and the guidance provided through the handbook and induction materials made the course requirements clear from the start.
Why did you choose OBS ?
What I liked most was the practical application of strategic and leadership theories to real organisational situations. The assignments encouraged critical analysis rather than description, which helped strengthen my understanding of strategy, decision-making, and leadership.
How has the program helped you in your career or personal growth?
I would advise students to plan their time well and start engaging with the recommended reading and using tutor feedback constructively can make a real difference to learning outcomes.
Tell us what you did after you completed your studies with OBS e.g. Did you continue your studies towards a full degree or master’s or, did you use the certificate for career progression?
After completing the diploma, I progressed to a Master’s degree in Management with Digital Marketing at BPP University in Manchester, which I began in May 2025. The diploma provided a strong foundation for postgraduate study and helped prepare me for advanced academic and professional development.
