The Accessiblity directive ( (306/2019) states that master's theses should be accessible for people with disabilities, as they are available on the web. See instructions for making your Word and PDF documents accessible to people with disabilities.
Check with your students that they have gone through language response and checked that their thesis document is accessible.
