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 masters funding, so you would be applying with B.Sc, B.A, B.Eng, LLB, MBBS or HND. An English test (IELTS) is mentioned in the requirements.
