Do I need a language GCSE to get into Oxbridge

I am going into year 10 and picked geography and history instead of a language I am considering applying to Oxbridge in the future (most likely Cambridge) for a science subject. Since it's unrelated to science and it isn't specified in the entry requirements I don't think it'll hurt my chances. What do you guys think ?

No, Cambridge have no GCSE requirements at all and Oxford does not require a language.

Also while UCL has a graduation requirement of a modern foreign language at GCSE level or above, this can be accomplished during the degree itself and is not a requirement for admission.

Not aware of any other unis requiring a GCSE in a language either, unless maybe applying to a languages degree specifically.
