Accessibility of Ghent University websites

Ghent University wants its websites to be fully accessible to everyone. We take specific measures to make its online documents accessible to Internet users with visual, motor and auditory impairments but also to the elderly.

Therefore we follow the accessibility guidelines of the organization Anysurfer as well as possible. Read more about Anysurfer...

Problems with Accessibility?

Besides the central portal site, all local websites that use our central editing system meet most of the accessibility guidelines.

Nevertheless, you may encounter link references to websites that do not meet these guidelines.
