This accessibility statement applies to the main website www.brookes.ac.uk which is run by the Oxford Brookes University. You will find more specific statements on other individual university websites.
We are in the process of developing a new website. Most sections of the website have been relaunched on the new system. This process will be completed by the end of January 2023.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. We use some technical or university terms where there is no easier wording we can use without changing what the text means.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
We are aware some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
- older PDFs and Word documents aren’t fully accessible to screen reader software
- live video streams do not have captions
- some third-party content not created by the university
- some interactive content (this includes maps, charts and other features)
- some of our pages don’t use headings appropriately
We've designed our content to be as accessible as possible but if you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, audio recording or braille, please email webdev@brookes.ac.uk.
We will consider your request and get back to you within 5 working days.
We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact: webdev@brookes.ac.uk.
