This award text does not list the nationalities it accepts. Check the eligible-countries section on the provider's own page before spending anything on documents. This is phd & doctoral funding, so you would be applying with M.Sc, M.A, MBA or M.Phil. An English test (IELTS) is mentioned in the requirements. Many Nigerian graduates are waived on a medium-of-instruction letter, but that is the university's decision, not the award's — confirm it before booking.
