Accessibility
A prospectus nobody can read is not a prospectus. This is what we have done, and what we have not.
01
Keyboard and focus
Every link, button, field and menu is reachable by keyboard in a logical order, with a visible focus outline. A skip link appears at the top of the page on first tab and is otherwise hidden.
02
Structure and semantics
Each page has one main landmark, one first-level heading and a descending heading order. Lists, tables of specification, definitions and navigation use the elements they describe rather than styled divisions.
03
Text, contrast and zoom
Body text is set in relative units and the layout reflows to roughly 200% zoom and 320px width without horizontal scrolling. Colour is never the only means of conveying meaning.
04
Motion
There is no autoplaying video, carousel or parallax. Transitions are short and are reduced to nothing when your system requests reduced motion.
05
Images
Photographs carry descriptive alternative text and are captioned as contextual imagery where they are not photographs of the institute. Decorative marks are hidden from assistive technology.
06
Our position
We aim at the WCAG 2.2 AA principles and treat any reported barrier as a defect. We do not claim a formal conformance certification or third-party audit, because none has been carried out.
Tell us about a barrier
If any part of this site or of a programme is difficult to use, write to the admissions office describing what happened and the assistive technology involved. We will reply and, where the fault is ours, fix it.
