Leuphana University Lüneburg endeavours to make its website www.leuphana.de accessible in accordance with the Lower Saxony Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons Act (Niedersächsisches Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz NBGG) implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
The colour of certain headings and highlights in text does not meet the minimum contrast requirements according to WCAG. We are working to resolve this issue.
Some link text doesn’t make sense when read on its own (for example, ‘click here’). We use a quality assurance application to identify these links and inform content editors of the requirement to change these. There will be occassions, however, when these changes have not yet been made. We will monitor and correct such links on an ongoing basis.
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents don’t meet accessibility standards: for example, they may not be marked up so they’re accessible to a screen reader.
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Some images don’t have appropriate alternative text. We use a quality assurance application to identify these images and inform content editors of the requirement to change these. There will be occasions, however, when these changes have not yet been made.
Some legacy video content doesn’t have captions.
