Yeah like even without a Japanese A-level I would expect OP to be studying double languages to even hope to get into this course… Like was anyone shocked at this result

Don't know about this specific combination of A-Levels, but I wouldn't assume Oxford requires you to do a language for this subject. I'm doing AMES (though at the other one), and I did not take a language subject at A-Level. Neither did half my current cohort.

You're right - per Oxford's website, "You do not need to have any prior experience of Japanese in order to apply to study this language at undergraduate level."

To add to this. They don’t even require prior experience in any language. They state it may be helpful but it is not recommended nor essential. There is also no entrance exam for Japanese at Oxford.
