Accessibility statement

EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht gGmbH strives to make its website and digital offerings accessible in accordance with the EU Directive 2019/882 (“European Accessibility Act”) and in line with the national Accessibility Enhancement Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz - BFSG).

This accessibility statement applies to the website published at www.ebs.edu and its subdomains events.ebs.edu and info.ebs.edu. The accessibility of our applicant portal at apply.ebs.edu is monitored by the service provider DreamApply (DreamApply OÜ Pärnu mnt 102b, 11312, Tallinn, Estonia).

EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht gGmbH offers the conclusion of contracts for continuing education programmes in the form of certificate programmes as well as participation in Bachelor's, Master's, EJP, MBA and doctoral study programmes in the fields of business and law.

In addition, EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht gGmbH provides contact and support services for the purpose of initiating such contracts – for example, via an online contact form, online information events, or personal appointment scheduling.

EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht gGmbH has taken care to design and develop its website to be accessible – or at least low-barrier – in terms of layout, usability, and navigation.

The requirements for accessibility are derived from Section 3 of the German Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSG) in conjunction with the Regulation on the Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSGV), which was issued on the basis of Section 3 (2) BFSG. The BFSGV defines the accessibility requirements for services offered in the course of business in Sections 12, 13, and 19. The technical specifications are based on EN 301 549. The requirements were implemented in accordance with the specifications of the WCAG 2.1 standard (level AA) and the principles of perceptibility, usability, comprehensibility and robustness described therein.

These requirements have been implemented as follows:

• Navigation and menu navigation are designed to be consistent and user-friendly.
• Texts and content are clearly structured and can be recognised with assistive technologies such as screen readers.
• Page elements such as headings, links, buttons and form fields are labelled clearly and comprehensibly.
• Images are provided with alternative texts that can be read aloud by screen readers.
• The content of the website can be operated entirely using the keyboard, with interactive elements having a visible keyboard focus.
• The contrasts between texts and backgrounds have been adjusted according to the criteria in order to increase readability.
• Layout and font sizes can be flexibly enlarged without content being cut off or becoming illegible.
• Most of the video content is already subtitled so that it is accessible even without sound.

The website already offers good accessibility in many areas for all users. However, it does not yet fully comply with the requirements of the Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV). As part of an upcoming technical revision, the relevant accessibility requirements will be implemented step by step.

Currently not barrier-free:

• The subdomains event.ebs.edu and info.ebs.edu. These will be technically revised by the end of July 2025.
• Older video content
• PDF documents and online brochures
• Online appointment booking via eTermin
• Online information events via Zoom

This declaration was last updated on 26 June 2025 and takes into account the accessibility status of our website up to that date.

If you do not receive a satisfactory response to your accessibility inquiry, you may contact the competent market surveillance authority. As of today, this authority has not yet been officially designated. Once known, its contact details will be published in an updated version of this accessibility statement.

If you notice any accessibility issues on our website or require information in an accessible format, please contact us.
