Generally would i need to know a programming language? I know we were meant to do a major project that required programming but................................

The syllabus does not specify any particular language, but it does expect you to be able to recognise different paradigms when you see it, which is not that hard. Some have said in the past that code from different paradigms was involved in questions. But if that is the case, even if you've never seen that language before the code should be quite trivial and you would be able to figure it out on the spot provided you knew something about the paradigm of the language.

I am not sure the syllabus but I just did the trial and it required me to write a fragment of code in functional language...I have totally no idea how to do it

Yes you do need to know basic APL and C syntax and code, however usually they give you a reference a bit of code and ask you to add on to it.
