Accessibility Information

The University of Sunderland website has been designed to be accessible to all web users. This statement gives information about accessibility features, and levels of conformance to industry standards.

We have attempted to follow relevant standards and good practice for accessibility and usability while developing the University website, including the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. 

We have also tested the site extensively in a wide range of browsers and settings, to ensure that the site functionality is available to as many users as possible.
