Technical information about the web site's accessibility

This website is partially compliant with the Act on the Accessibility of Digital Public Services, due to the shortcomings described under the heading Content  that is not accessible.

Content that is not accessible

Although the website is accessible to a hgh degree, it still has shortcomings that the University is working to address. The following content is not fully accessible:

• Parts of the content in the pages of the web site resides within so called landmarks, which haven't been named. This makes it difficult for users with screen readers to know their purpose.
• Headlines and heading levels aren't always used correctly, which can cause difficulties for users with cognitive or vision impairment.
• The search function does not fulfil accessibility requirements and does not work with keyboard navigation and screen readers. For example, the search function cannot be accessed via keyboard navigation when changing the filtering of results for news pages.
• The inbuilt screen reader is not fully responsive and doesn't change appearance for users browsing on phone, which makes it difficult to use.
• Some links lead to external web sites without notifying screen readers, using only visual icons to signal this.
• Some links lead to external web sites, but indicate that they lead to an internal page, using visual icons to signal this.
• Links to documents and external pages do not always describe where they lead to or that they are opened in a new browser window.
• In some places of the pages of the web site, a clearer focus on where you are, when navigating with a keyboard or voice control, is needed.
• In the main menu, and certain links, the difference between holding your mouse cursor over them and not, is too small. This is true for example for the menu link "Find News" and page internal menus for page content.
• A so called "Aria Label" is missing for the active link in the main menu, which prevents screen readers from telling what page in the main menu you are browsing.
• Text is commonly shown against a background image. This image also lacks text description.
• Text is sometimes shown against a background image which contains text or distracting graphical patterns.
• The web site uses italicization for long quotes, which can make the text unnecessarily difficult to read.
