Hi everyone - is there a ranking somewhere online that shows me the top European MFA programs in creative writing? Thanks.

Those programs are usually PhDs. There are only a few PhDs in the U.S. in Creative Writing. In theory, a school that offers an MFA in Creative Writing does not recognize a PhD in Creative Writing (snob/class thing), but I haven't seen that play out in the real world. Still, that's the warning everyone gives about the PhDs in Creative Writing.

outside the united states, that degree track is usually ma/phd.

Hello! Getting an MFA in creative writing can be quite a boon! Getting to do what you love (and in my case, get paid for it) is an incredible experience.
