How accessible the website is

Parts of this website are not fully accessible. For example:

  • Some elements of image maps do not have alternate text
  • Some buttons do not have discernible text
  • Contrast between foreground and background colours do not meet WCAG 2 AA ratio thresholds
  • Some image elements do not have alternate text
  • Some form elements do not have labels

What we do about known issues

We work to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is not accessible, we will state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives.

Technical information about this website's accessibility

Imperial College London is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is not compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. The non-accessible sections are listed below.

Non accessible content

The site does not meet accessibility standards.

Some documents and content are exempt from the regulations (such as live video content and PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they're not essential to providing our services), so we do not currently have any plans to make them accessible. But if you need to access information in one of these document types, you can contact us and ask for an alternative format.

Non compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • Some images and image maps do not have alternate text. This fails WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
  • Some buttons do not have discernible text. This fails WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
  • The contrast between foreground and background colours.This fails WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
  • Not every id attribute value is unique. This fails WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
  • Not every form element has a label. This fails WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

Disproportionate burden

This site is a legacy site for reference only and is not actively maintained of updated following the conclusion of the project. Therefore, addressing the aforemention accessibility problems would be a disproportionate burden.
