The following declaration on accessibility applies to the central websites of the UDE.

The central websites of the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) are partially compliant with EU Directive 2016/2102.

Methodology of the audit: self-assessment

Last checked on: 12 May 2023

The contents listed below are not barrier-free:

• PDF documents integrated into the website
• Videos integrated into the website

Reasons:

Due to the large number of provided PDF documents, which were created before 23.09.2018, it has not been possible to convert them into a barrier-free format so far. They will be adapted successively.

The provision of videos with an audio description could not be realised so far.
