Accessibility

The Hamburg University of Music and Drama (HfMT) strives to provide access to its digital offerings for as many people as possible. Our aim is to make this website easily accessible to all people, including people with disabilities, in accordance with the Hamburg Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (HmbBITVO) as amended from time to time.

The website is currently partially compatible with the requirements of the HmbBITVO. The HfMT operates an extensive website with a wide variety of content. Due to our decentralized editorial structure with numerous authors from different departments and specialist areas, barriers cannot be completely ruled out despite technical measures and editorial training. We are constantly working on improving the quality and accessibility of content, adapting documents and training editors. Nevertheless, it can happen that content is not fully accessible or is occasionally incorrect.

If you find any serious deficiencies or content barriers, please contact us. We will check your information promptly and provide you with the requested content in an alternative, accessible form on request.

The contrasts on our website predominantly meet the recommended minimum value in accordance with WCAG. In individual cases, there may be deviations for design reasons - particularly with regard to our artistic corporate design.

The website is structured in such a way that many areas can also be navigated without a mouse, e.g. using a keyboard. Individual complex modules or embedded content may still deviate from this at present. These will be improved step by step.

Information-relevant graphics and images are continuously provided with alternative texts. Due to the volume and variety of image material, additions are made on an ongoing basis; older content may still be incomplete.

Audio and video recordings play a central role in our public image. We clearly label audiovisual content and supplement it with descriptive texts wherever possible. Full subtitling or audio description of all media content is not yet available, but is planned.
