What to do after tlevel (dsp for construction)

Basically im in Yr11, i really don’t want to do 6th form simply because im sick of that type of environment. So, I have applied for a T-level in design, surveying and planning for construction. The problem is the college told me they think it will be really easy for me telling from my grades, and my mum wants me to take a more challenging route. I’m wondering, what’s the most prestigious thing I can do after the T-level, some universities are completely unavailable to me so whats the best university I can go to with that T-level, I’m considering architecture or civils, but i have no idea where to go.

You need to look through the course pages on uni websites and check the entry requirements. The following thread lists the A level requirements for architecture courses so work out where you think you could fit in terms of academic ability and then check the entry requirements for T levels. Also, consider degree apprenticeships. They are a good option for the construction industry:
