Technical information about this website鈥檚 accessibility

Imperial business school is committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the

Compliance status

This website has been tested against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard.

This website is partially compliant with the听听AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

We remain committed to improving accessibility and welcome feedback to help us identify and address any barrier.

Non-accessible

1.听Across all tested pages, the user is unable to view and interact with the sub-navigation menu items by using Dragon Naturally Speaking. When 鈥淪how Links鈥 is activated, the navigation only shows the main landing page links, when听the user chooses a link or announces the menu item in full, it directs the user to the landing page only. .听

On the 鈥極ur Students鈥 page, the phrase 鈥淪how Links鈥 does not highlight any of the student profiles. To interact with these profiles, the user must navigate to the last filter option and tab their way through them, which is not practical and could take a long time if they specifically want to read a profile which appears at the bottom of the list.听听

All these elements, fail WCAG 2.2 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value). We are working on addressing these issues and aim to resolve them by December 2026.听

2.听鈥楨vents Listing鈥 page that the left-hand sidebar navigation links are not grouped using a <nav> element, this will cause screen听reader users confusion as they may not be able to understand these elements鈥 relationship, nor can they navigate quickly to key sections of the page.

This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships).听We will make sure that all key sections of our pages are grouped together correctly, therefore easy to navigate, by December 2026.

3. On the 鈥楧ownload MBA Brochure鈥 page after applying custom CSS styles, text within the form, including the 鈥楽tay Informed鈥 section below it, does not receive custom styling. This could affect users who rely on custom CSS styles to make text more readable.听This fails WCAG 2.2 AA 1.4.12 (Text Spacing). We are aiming to achieve custom styling abilities on form texts by December 2026.听

4.听There are pre-recorded videos on this website that do not have either a descriptive text transcript or an audio description track. This could affect users who are blind or have low vision, as they may miss important visual information conveyed in the videos that听is听not provided through audio听description.听This fails WCAG 2.2 criteria 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 (Audio Description or Media Alternative). We are aiming to include either a descriptive text or audio descriptive tracks on to the pre-recorded videos by December 2026.
