Incorrect Work Permit in my VISA

I am flying to UK on 4th September.
My Course is Diploma in Architecture. SCQF level 11. which is above degree level. But in my visa they have written 'work prohibited'.

This is quite disgusting. Don't know how to solve this issue. I am sure If I apeal for correction then I shall miss my flight and first day of the course.

Are you studying at a private college or a publicly funded hei?

no. although the visa counselor of the institution emailed me that I am eligible for 20 hours work per week.

Can I fix it from inside UK? Is there any option or appointment?

What is the name of the institution where you are studying?

If it is a publicly funded HEI then you should have permission to work. If its private then you won't.

If a mistake has been made then your advisor at your
institution can write to the entry clearance correction scheme at ukba to ask them to amend the visa.

thanks alot for the infos. I was wondering if they amend the visa then will they put a new visa stamp or they will update the work information on their computer system?

They would have to issue you a new entry clearance sticker on your passport-assuming of course the endorsement is wrong.

If the school does not have facility for 'Entry clearance correction scheme' then what will happen? I mean is it a scheme where universities have to be registered or all universities have the right to email the home office for the correction? My school does not have facility to process visa on 'university batch scheme'

Its separate from the batch scheme. I suggest you speak to them and ask. Have you told them about this problem?
