In compliance with Section 10 Paragraph 1 of the State Disability Equality Act, the University Hospital and Medical Faculty of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen works to make its website accessible without obstacles (L-BGG).

This accessibility statement applies to the main UKT website at the following link: https://www.medizin.uni-tuebingen.de/de/

Status of Compatibility with the Requirements

This website is only partially compatible with Section 10(1) of the L-BGG due to the following incompatibilities:

Additionally, all PDFs included on the website are not accessible according to the PAC standard.

There is a lack of description in plain language and, if applicable, a variant in sign language.

b) Disproportionate Burden

The barrier-free implementation of the PDFs contained on the website and the creation of the discussion in plain language currently represent a disproportionate burden. They are therefore an exception.

c) Content Outside Applicable Legislation

A version in sign language is not mandatory.
