When you deposit your thesis you need to make sure that your document is accessible. Digital accessibility is a useful skill for the workplace, and it is important to make your document easy to navigate and understand by as wide an audience as possible.

There are steps you can take to improve the accessibility of your work, which are also good practice for future employment. When depositing your thesis, an accessible Word document is the best format to ensure that your work is accessible (and using PDF does not prevent people copying and then editing your content). Word has an Accessibility Checker that highlights any elements of your document that are not accessible.

More details and guidance can be found in the FAQ How do I create accessible Word documents?
