TU Dresden is committed to contributing to the social promotion of its members and to take into account the special needs of employees and students with disabilities and chronic illnesses.  Thus, equal participation is currently shaped by the Action Plan for the implementation of the UN Disability Rights Convention. These activities are supported by TU Dresden's quality objectives.

You can find concrete offers of help on the pages of the Commissioners for Students with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses. Should you notice any deficiencies regarding the barrier-free design of TU Dresden, you can use the form "Report Barrier".

Declaration on Accessibility  

Technische Universität Dresden makes every effort to make its website tu-dresden.de accessible without barriers in accordance with the national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

This declaration on accessibility applies to the website tu-dresden.de. It does not apply to project websites and pages of individual chairs that are not part of the University's WebCMS.

Issuing of this Declaration on Accessibility

This declaration was issued on 3^rd December 2019. The last verification of TU Dresden's web presence by means of self-assessment was carried out on 25^th November 2019.

The basis for the issuing of this Declaration on Accessibility is a self-assessment of the website's compatibility with the requirements of the BfWebG in accordance with BITV 2.0, carried out by TU Dresden.

Status of compatibility with the requirements of the BITV

Due to the following incompatibilities and exceptions, this website is partially compatible with the requirements of the Barrier-free Websites Act (BfWebG) in conjunction with the Ordinance on Barrier-free Information Technology 2.0 (BITV 2.0).

Content that is not deemed accessible

• Alternatives for images and graphic elements are not fully available.
• No alternatives are offered for videos and time-controlled media.
• Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes for orientation within elements are not fully available.
• Accessibility by keyboard is not fully available for the following elements/contents:  
  • Secondary navigation at the top of the page (faculties/institutes, search, language, internal)
  • Selection of videos
  • Search filter function
• In the study information system, you cannot select fields of study and filter criteria using the keyboard. However, you can search for alternatives using keywords.
• The position of the keyboard focus is not clearly visible.
• Words and sections in other languages are not marked.
• Explanatory texts in forms are not readable by screen readers. In addition, there is no overview page for checking form entries afterwards. These are transmitted directly.
• On start and overview pages, certain elements cannot be skipped because the headings are not set.

Due to the large number of web editors, it cannot be guaranteed that all editorial content is accessible despite regular quality control. The following barriers can therefore arise:

• The hierarchy of headings may not be respected.
• Links may be incomprehensible.
• Not all documents (e.g. PDF documents) are available in an accessible form.
• In the case of integrated maps that serve as route descriptions, textual alternatives may be missing.
• For some tables, the allocation of table cells is missing.

If you notice any shortcomings with regard to barrier-free design, you can report these to us using the "Report barrier" form and request it in the accessible format. Alternatively, you can contact the Commissioners for Students with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses directly.
