University for Creative Arts to close Rochester campus

The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) will close its Rochester campus in September 2023, giving most students time to finish their degrees.

Staff will be redeployed to other campuses as UCA looks to move courses to new "centres of excellence" in Canterbury, Epsom and Farnham.

UCA also plans to stop providing further education, focussing instead on degree level courses.  

This is its second campus closure, having stopped providing courses at Medway in 2014.
