The German Creative Writing Program Leipzig (Deutsches Literaturinstitut Leipzig / DLL) is a central institution at Universität Leipzig, providing the only degree course for writers in the making in Germany since 1995. Alongside the three-year BA in Creative Writing, focusing on poetry, prose and drama, an MA in Creative Writing has also been on offer from the winter semester of 2009. This is a two-year degree designed as a novel workshop.

The aim of the program is to provide students with highly professional writing skills and creative competence, along with knowledge of literary history and theory. This is taught within the various modules through seminars, practical courses, colloquia, workshop seminars, readings and project seminars, as well as individual editing of student texts. All courses are taught in German.
