Despite our best efforts, some problems may occur during use.
This is a description of the content that is known to be non-accessible. Please contact us if you encounter a problem that is not listed.
Explanation:
As a university we have a very large and versatile website and run complex central web applications with many people involved. The website and the central web applications were published before September 23, 2018 and do not reflect the current state of accessibility requirements.
Various documents from office applications (such as PDF files) could not yet be completely converted due to their large number and complexity.
We are working on making the web content and documents available in an accessible format.
Support for Students and Employees
Please let us know if there are existing deficits relating to compliance with accessibility requirements. Information that is not accessible without barriers can be requested in an accessible format.
