Accessibility Statement
This is the accessibility statement of Oy Vaasan ammattikorkeakoulu – Vasa yrkeshögskola Ab.
This statement applies to the online service www.vamk.fi. It was updated on 27 June 2025 and will be reviewed again in December 2025. The website is subject to the Act on the Provision of Digital Services, which requires that public online services must be accessible (WCAG 2.1, Level AA). Development measures are also being implemented based on the Regional State Administrative Agency’s inspection report (8/2024).
Accessibility Status of the Digital Service
The website partially meets the accessibility requirements.
Non-accessible Content
Some content on the website does not yet meet accessibility requirements:
-
Some PDF and Word files are not accessible.
-
Some links and buttons do not have an accessible name.
-
Some images lack alternative text descriptions.
-
Some text and background color combinations do not meet the required contrast ratio.
-
There may be challenges in navigating the site using a keyboard, such as the absence of a “skip to main content” link or insufficient focus indicators.
Disproportionate Burden
Some of the non-accessible files were published before the accessibility requirements came into force. Making these accessible would cause a disproportionate burden. We aim to provide this information in accessible formats in the future.
Planned Improvements
We have identified the above-mentioned issues and will address them between summer and autumn 2025. Our goal is to continuously improve the accessibility of the website.
