It is a good opportunity for Africans, however, can it include also lower second class BSc degree since study environment in some of these African Universities are not advantageous for studies especially Sciences. otherwise am willing to apply next academic year and I have got Lower second class BSc in Medical Laboratory Science and Health Services Management.
