The Master of Publishing (MPub) program is the only program in Canada to offer a postgraduate degree in publishing, and is the country’s premier training ground for publishing professionals. In this innovative, full-time 16-month program in SFU’s Faculty of Communication, Art, and Technology, a select cohort of MPub candidates learn practical skills from faculty and guest industry professionals, within a rigorous academic environment. Students in the MPub program build a portfolio of work of a professional calibre in publication design, marketing, technology, cultural policy, management, and editorial. Throughout the program, MPub candidates also contribute in the authoring, editing, and curation of the Engage Blog.
