How accessible is the website?

We know some parts of this website aren’t fully accessible. Our ambition is to continuously address known accessibility problems.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Issues with usage without vision

  • Introductory texts and headings on pages with information in a language other than Swedish are not tagged with the correct language and can create problems with assistive technology for reading.
  • Certain documents are not correctly tagged and thus can lead to problems with assistive technology. Other documents may not have the correct structure or tab order, or have missing text alternatives for images and diagrams. We are continually updating documents.
  • The footer uses H3 headings and this may lead to inconsistent heading navigation.

Issues with usage with limited vision

  • Resizing text may not work correctly on all pages or within certain parts of the website.
  • Introductory texts and headings on pages with information in a language other than Swedish are not tagged with the correct language and can create problems with assistive technology for reading.
  • Certain documents are not correctly tagged and thus can lead to problems with assistive technology. Other documents may not have the correct structure or tab order, or have missing text alternatives for images and diagrams. We are continually updating documents.
  • The footer uses H3 headings which may lead to inconsistent heading navigation.

Disproportionate burden

The Swedish Council for Higher Education invokes an exemption for disproportionate burden in accordance with § 12 in the accessibility regulations for the content described below.

  • There are documents for administrative purposes published after 23 September 2018 that do not meet the accessibility requirements. We expect to revise these documents on an ongoing basis and/or as needed.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

The content described below is not fully accessible, but is exempt in accordance with § 9 in the accessibility regulations.

  • Audio or video files published before 23 September 2020 may be missing captions or audio descriptions.
  • This website contains documents published before 23 September 2018 that may not be accessible. These documents are not needed for providing our services, will not be updated and are therefore considered archived content.
  • Some documents used on this website were produced under the control of third parties. These have not been tested by UHR for accessibility.
  • Some documents or images are graphical representations of statistics or processes. These are, however, only complements to existing information in text form.
  • The YouTube player used for videos is a third-party product and thus not under UHR's control.
