Our commitment to accessibility and inclusion

We believe learning is for everyone. At Cambridge University Press & Assessment, we are committed to making our publications, platforms, assessments and resources accessible to all users, ensuring no one is excluded from the opportunity to learn, demonstrate their skills and achieve their potential.

Accessibility is integral to our mission to contribute to society through education and research. Creating a fully accessible experience is an ongoing process. We are committed to continually reviewing and improving our resources and platforms to ensure knowledge truly is within reach for everyone we serve.

Cambridge University Press & Assessment is committed to providing our users with a fully accessible experience for research, teaching and learning across our products, platforms and websites, wherever possible.

Designing for inclusion: our approach

We strive to create learning experiences that are meaningful, relevant and accessible to the widest possible spectrum of users, embedding inclusion from the start.

Accessibility across our offerings

We apply accessibility principles across our diverse range of products and services.

Cambridge University Press now publishes the majority of its new titles, and many older titles, in accessible ebook formats.

Available formats and support

Alternative formats: For works not readily available in a suitable format, we partner with RNIB Bookshare in the UK, donating digital files to ensure content reaches print-disabled learners quickly.

Direct requests: we also welcome direct requests for accessible formats from individuals and institutions globally via our Accessible Format Request Form for Cambridge University Press titles. We aim to respond within five working days.
