UBC’s Creative Writing graduate program offers an intensive, diverse and collaborative environment for crafting literary excellence.
As well as writing workshops and craft seminars, we offer community-building opportunities with Brave New Play Rites, New Shoots, and PRISM international, our literary magazine.
Graduates of our MFA program have achieved success in publishing, filmmaking, theatre, podcasting, television, and many other fields. In addition to producing and publishing original work, graduates are qualified to teach creative writing at the college and university level.

I chose to pursue graduate studies in creative writing at UBC because I wanted a collaborative, supportive environment in which to write and work. I wanted to engage closely with the diverse voices, ideas and perspectives of other writers, and to learn from these writers in ways that might challenge or surprise me.
