I thought if i had some experience with the Language from the country itself i stand a very good chance of getting in. (Well better than i do at the moment)
But thank you for the quick reply.

Ah, the old UCAS malarky. There are a few universities that do Japanese from scratch, but most will demand either a GCSE or an A-Level in it, or both. In all honesty, without the relevant qualifications (ie. A-Levels) you could easily go to Japan, study some Japanese there and it still might not count for anything if you don't come out with a recognizable certificate at the end of it; it would just be something extra you could stick on your personal statement. It's like getting a beautiful garnish delivered on an empty place. A nice touch, but there's no substance to it.
Out of interest, what are your qualifications and where exactly were you looking to apply? I might be able to suggest something more specific if I know your situation better.
