Welcome to the Board of Irish College Societies
BICS is a organisation, founded in 1995, which is dedicated to providing a national forum for the societies across Ireland's Universities, Colleges and Institutes of Education.
Societies are organised by and for students. They exist because students want them to exist. Third level education is more than exams, coursework and lectures, and students who are involved in running student societies know this. Student societies are a path to a greater experience of higher education, to building friendships which will last far beyond your college years and gaining skills which are just as valuable as any you will learn in a lecture hall.
The Board is responsible for the promotion of interest in the activities of Irish college societies and of contact and co-operation between them. Member colleges have access to a wealth of information on Societies and advice on best practice once they log on to this site.
