BICS All-time Leaderboard - 2012 Update

dramabob

Sorry for the delay; I'm only getting to this now... After a fantastic night at the BICS 2012 Awards on Thursday night at the Johnstown House Hotel, I've put together the updated BICS all-time leader board reflecting this year's winners (and a massive well done to all)…

BICS divides their members into the following categories:

Large College: 7500 Students or more
Small Colleges: 7499 Students or less

This criterion has changed over the years (and/or colleges have grown/shrunk), so some colleges have appeared in both categories over the years (e.g. UL, DCU).

The current BICS membership is made up of:

Large Colleges: DCU, DIT, NUIG, TCD, UL, UCC, QUB
Small Colleges: IT Blanchardstown, CIT, DkIT, GMIT, IT Tallaght, Mary Immaculate (MIC), National College of Ireland (NCI), NUIM, IT Tralee, DBS

Leaderboard: Number of BICS Awards wins all-time:

NUIG: 30
DCU: 22
TCD: 18
IT Tallaght: 14 + 1 Special Mention
DIT: 14
NUIM: 10
UCC: 8
DkIT: 8
UL: 7
MIC: 5
UCD: 4
CIT: 4
NCI: 4
IT Tralee: 3
WIT: 2
IT Blanchardstown: 1
