The School received its first-ever Gold Award in the "Privacy-Friendly Awards 2023". Organised by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), these awards aim to recognise organisations, both public and private, as well as government departments, for their outstanding commitment to protecting personal data privacy. The award presentation ceremony was held on 31 August 2023, and Professor William K.M.
