In the options section of our school website it says "Most of the top Universities require applicants to have a language at GCSE (minimum C grade)"

Is this true? From the research I have done so far it looks like only UCL require a language. DD keen to drop MFL so I want to be sure that by agreeing to this it's not going to cause issues in the future. Thanks in advance for any info!

No need to have a language, my son doesn't have one and is currently in first year at UCL and was interviewed by Oxford.
