Modern Foreign Languages + History

Do you have to know the language to do a joint honours or can you pick one up on the side? I would love to do history with Japanese alongside ideally aiming for Oxbridge. Haven’t looked if they offer Japanese just wondering because I don’t speak it.
Oxbridge don't teach Japanese with history because it is part of a separate degree at those unis. To study Japanese you need to be studying their Oriental studies degree (or equivalent) which allows you to start from scratch in languages like Japanese or Persian. These will tell you the languages you can combine with history:
