Accessibility

Utrecht University wants everyone to be able to use all the information on our website successfully. That is why we are paying attention to user-friendliness, accessibility and searchability.

The Temporary Decree on Digital Accessibility by the Government stipulates that government websites must meet accessibility requirements as laid down in EN 301 549/WCAG 2.1 and must be responsible for this in a published accessibility statement.

Accessibility statement

Students.uu.nl does not meet the accessibility requirements. In our Accessibility Statement, we explain why we do not yet fully meet these requirements and how soon we expect to solve these shortcomings.

How are we working on accessibility?

Utrecht University wants everyone to be able to use all the information on the uu.nl website. That is why we are focusing on user-friendliness, accessibility and searchability. In addition, we are continuously improving accessibility through various measures within our (daily) processes:

  1. Testing before publication: our editorial staff checks all texts and other components for accessibility.
  2. Technology: our IT department checks for digital accessibility. We then tackle the problems found.
  3. Employee training: some of the editors have followed training courses on accessibility. In addition, manuals are available on the accessibility of PDF files, text alternatives and audio subtitling.
  4. Research: outside experts check our website. We then tackle the problems found.
