Accessibility Statement

Via the website www.hdwm.de, the Hochschule der Wirtschaft für Management (HdWM) provides information about its degree programs and services.

Users can find out about the content and use the functions provided on the website.

The website is used via the navigation structure and the individual page sections. Interaction is possible via the intended functions, such as forms or contact options.

This website is currently not fully accessible. As the website is in the launch phase of a new, fundamentally revised version, testing and revisions are ongoing on a continuous basis, during which accessibility is also continuously reviewed and improved.

Technical Barriers

• Image alternative text (WCAG 1.1.1). It is being continuously checked whether all images have a meaningful alternative text.
• Heading structure (WCAG 1.3.1 / 2.4.6). The page's heading structure is being continuously reviewed and adjusted as part of the launch.
• Unique identification of elements (WCAG 4.1.1). It is being checked that technical identifiers (IDs) are assigned uniquely.
• Link text (WCAG 2.4.4 / 4.1.2). It is being checked that all links have a recognizable, understandable label.

As the website is in its launch phase, the specific content affected may still change during ongoing testing and revisions. Further technical adjustments are required for these points.

Embedded Third-Party Content

• Third-party elements such as reCAPTCHA are outside our direct sphere of influence.
• The embedded application, contact, and appointment booking forms themselves, however, fall within our sphere of influence and are also continuously reviewed.

Documents and Media

Documents and media content were not examined in detail as part of this review.

Disproportionate Burden

For some content, an accessible implementation may currently involve a disproportionate burden. This applies in particular to:

• older content
• third-party content

The assessment of accessibility is based on a technical analysis combined with internal testing, carried out continuously as part of the ongoing launch.

Please note that automated testing procedures cannot fully capture all aspects of accessibility.

If you believe that this website does not meet the legal accessibility requirements and your request has not been answered satisfactorily, you may contact the responsible market surveillance authority.
