Accessibility statement
This accessibility statement concerns the website www.hamk.fi.
We want to go beyond the minimum requirements when it comes to accessibility
The website of Häme University of Applied Sciences was renewed in early 2024. According to the agreement, the technical implementer of the pages is committed to delivering a website that meets technical requirements at least at the AA level.
As part of the renewal, we have focused on both the technical and content accessibility of the website. During 2024, we will assess the current accessibility level of the site and update the accessibility statement accordingly.
The creators of the website strive to ensure digital accessibility for individuals with functional limitations. We continuously improve the user experience and adhere to relevant accessibility standards.
