Any graduate (even non-law) from anywhere in the world can give SQE. However, as the questions are on UK law, having a common law degree closely aligned with the UK system is always helpful. There are excellent prep materials available like https://www.law.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/law/llm-sqe-1-and-2/
to enrol as a solicitor in the UK a foreign qualified lawyer will need at least 2 years of experience apart from passing the SQE, foreign legal experience can be transferred, also if someone has a lot of experience they can also seek exemptions from some of the SQE exams. However, it is always difficult and you would have to show a lot in the portfolio etc.
If you are interested have a chat with the prep providers they will be able to guide you more about the sqe.
