As the website operator, we (Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences) endeavour to design the website in accordance with the relevant accessibility regulations. The following legal provisions apply to us:
Thuringian Act on Barrier-free Access to the Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Authorities (ThürBarrWebG) and the Thuringian Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (ThürBITVO) in their respective valid versions.
This accessibility statement applies to the website www.hs-nordhausen.de.
The content of this website was last revised on 30 June 2025.
If you notice any deficiencies with regard to accessibility, you can report them to us using the "Report barrier" form and request them in an accessible format.
Alternatively, please contact us by e-mail: .
This website is largely compliant with the accessibility regulations that apply to us. In detail, the following have not yet been implemented or have not been fully implemented barrier-free:
We offer content in German sign language, easy-to-read language and generally understandable language and endeavour to expand this further, but this is not always possible in specialist texts. Abbreviations are avoided as far as possible or written out in full when they first appear in the text and then used in the rest of the text. Please contact us if you find abbreviations without an explanation on our website.
Apart from the main pages, some alternative texts for images and tables as well as link descriptions are missing. These will be added by us step by step.
There may be errors in the structure and content hierarchy or links may be incomprehensible. Documents such as PDFs are usually not accessible.
Documents in the PDF file format, which are issued as a so-called "flipbook" with a flip-through function, are not accessible in this form unless they can only be operated with a keyboard throughout. These documents are usually available as standard PDFs for viewing or downloading. If this is not the case, please get in touch with us.
Words and sections in other languages are usually not labelled.
There are usually no subtitles or audio descriptions available for videos. There are few or no alternatives for audio files and silent videos. Complex graphic representations are sometimes not accessible.
The following content is not made available barrier-free because this would result in a disproportionate burden for us:
Due to their complexity, documents such as PDF files cannot usually be created in an accessible format, as implementing accessibility would only be possible with a disproportionate amount of effort. Some PDF documents are created at very short notice or are only uploaded at short notice and cannot be made accessible for reasons of time and cost.
We provide the following accessible alternatives for our non-accessible content: Text as description for complex graphics.
Closed captions for newly created explanatory videos (will be expanded step by step).
No third-party BITV test has yet been carried out for the website www.hs-nordhausen.de and its content.
We are constantly endeavouring to improve the accessibility of our website. We are currently doing the following:
We are working on implementing accessibility in accordance with BITV 2.0 and WCAG 2.0 for our website and WCAG 2.1 (level AA in each case) for mobile applications and, where possible, endeavour to fulfil the criteria beyond the minimum requirements.
Continuous further and advanced training is provided in the area of accessibility.
