VFS and KPU Partnership: Ladder into a KPU BA with your VFS diploma!
In 2022, Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) and Vancouver Film School (VFS) signed an articulation agreement to allow eligible VFS graduates to transfer parts of their degrees to KPU programs.
After successfully completing a Writing for Film, Television & Games Diploma at VFS, qualified students who meet the KPU admission requirements can transfer up to 60 credits into KPU’s Bachelor of Arts, Major in Creative Writing, and Bachelor of Arts, Major in General Studies programs. They may also enter into other eligible Bachelor programs, subject to admission requirements.
Important note: the above transfer pathways are valid between July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2026. Program requirements at KPU and VFS are subjected to change under periodic program reviews, which will affect the pathway.
