KPMG Global Cyber Day in Computer Science
As part of Birmingham Tech Week and Global Cyber Awareness month, it was a real pleasure to meet the members of the KPMG Birmingham Cyber Security team here at HGS on Tuesday 21st October 2025.
Students took part in many interactive sessions on the importance of online safety, the growing world of AI, and perspective future careers – bringing national industry insight directly into the classroom.
The lectures and workshops held in the computing department were based around how to understand, question and shape technology responsibly, building a safer, more confident digital future for everyone.
Partnerships like this build on our long standing CyberFirst and CyberExplorers journey, reflecting our wider mission to make digital education inclusive, practical, and impactful for every learner at KE VI HGS.
Cyber awareness in schools is a fundamental life skill that we at HGS have a goal to nurture and we look forward to continuing this collaboration as part of our ongoing digital trust journey.
Treyan Patel(12TBe) and Nihal Sharma (12AAh), said: “This event helped us to expand our horizons on potential future cyber careers. Our discussion helped us not only understand the intricacies of the industry but to also see the plethora of difficulties that cyber analysts tackle daily. Kisandu Hapuarachchi (12MBi) said: “I think everybody should have the same opportunities in cyber security as we did today in computer science”.
A huge thank you to Anah Ahee and Sharon Oahimije from KPMG for sharing their expertise, enthusiasm, and real-world cyber insights with our students and for supporting our global cyber journey, that connects education, industry, and exciting future careers in technology for our students.
