Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not accessible:

• PDF documents embedded in the web presence
• Videos embedded in the website
• The color tones currently used do not all achieve the required contrast at a browser zoom factor of 100 percent.

Reasons:

Due to the large number of PDF documents made available that were created before 23.09.2018, it has not yet been possible to convert them to an accessible format. They will be successively adapted.
It has not yet been possible to provide the videos with an audio description.

Accessible alternatives:

In case of non-accessible documents for enrollment, please contact the Student Secretariat. In case of non-accessible examination regulations, please contact the Central Examination Administration. For other cases, please use the feedback form below.
The embedded videos are Youtube files. Here you have the possibility to show automatic subtitles.
The necessary contrast is given in case of strong enlargement via the browser zoom. We are working on a fully accessible solution in this regard.
