Technical information about this website’s accessibility

The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018/2022 (the ‘accessibility regulations’) do not apply to the University of Cambridge. However, the University of Cambridge is committed to making its websites and mobile applications accessible and in this regard to complying voluntarily with the accessibility regulations. This accessibility statement is published in that context.

Compliance status

 This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 Level AA standard, due to the following non-compliances.

Non-accessible content

The content listed is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • Our Schedule of Tuition Fees links are all images without alt tags and therefore not properly named or descriptive enough for screen readers (WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text Content).

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We’ll continue to address the accessibility issues identified in this accessibility statement. Our aim is to resolve or significantly improve issues within our control by August 2025.
