Writing week at Leuphana: Secure your educational leave now!
The Leuphana Professional School has created an exciting opportunity for working students to improve their academic writing skills. On September 4, 2025 it was announced that the institutionalized academic writing week can now be booked online. This event is not only an excellent tool for individual writing processes, but is also recognized as an educational holiday. Employees can therefore use this opportunity to work on their bachelor's or master's theses efficiently.
The series of events offers a comprehensive program tailored to the needs of the participants. The program coordinator Dr. Kathrin Becher presents methods for text production in the workshops and also offers feedback and advice on self- and time management, research and structuring of scientific work. This motivating writing environment is particularly helpful for anyone who needs support with their writing.
Educational leave and legal framework conditions
In Germany, employees in some federal states have the right to educational leave. This allows them to take part in the academic writing week without resulting in a loss of working time. In certain regions, participation in the Writing ashram counted as working time, which encourages the use of additional vacation days. In many federal states, such as Berlin, Brandenburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Hamburg, educational leave is recognized and can represent a decisive advantage.
For those interested in participating in Writing Week, it is important to know that educational leave must be requested at least six weeks in advance. A certificate confirming the recognition of the training measure in the respective federal state is a prerequisite and should be presented to the employer.
Optimal preparation for the future
The Leuphana Professional School emphasizes the importance of continuing academic education and offers the opportunity to prepare specifically for academic challenges in a protected environment. The right methodology and the right environment for writing can be crucial for success.
Whether you are planning a bachelor's or master's thesis or generally want to improve your academic writing, the Educational leave offers are a valuable building block. The combination of professional coaching and the opportunity to exchange ideas with like-minded people not only promotes individual writing, but also the personal development of the participants.
The number of participants is limited, so early registration is advisable. Those interested can find further information and the option to register on the official website of the Leuphana Professional School.
