Accessibility

We want everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard or a small screen.

Last reviewed: November 2, 2026

Our standard

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, the standard most universities and governments use.

What this website supports

  • Every page and form works with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline and a “Skip to main content” link.
  • Text and buttons meet WCAG AA color-contrast levels.
  • Images have text descriptions, and form fields have labels that screen readers announce.
  • Pages work on screens from 320 pixels wide and when zoomed to 200%.
  • Animation is minimal and switches off if your device is set to reduce motion.
  • The application form has no time limit, and keeps your typed answers if the page reloads.
  • Pages print cleanly, without menus.

How we test

Every page is checked with automated accessibility tools (axe-core and Google Lighthouse) and by hand with a keyboard, at phone and desktop sizes. At the last review every page passed the automated checks with no errors.

Known limitations

Links to Google Maps open an external website that we do not control. We are not aware of any other barriers; if you find one, please tell us.
