MPs and the public are calling on the University of the Creative Arts (UCA) to reverse its decision to close its Rochester campus, calling it "short sighted".
About 2000 people have signed an online petition for the school to remain "either at the existing Rochester campus or another site" in Kent.
More than 150 jobs will be lost if the campus closes in 2023 as planned, the petition claims, and remove "good quality creative education" from some of England's most deprived council wards in Medway.
This will be UCA's second campus closure, having stopped providing courses at its Medway campus in 2014.
