It is offered by Ircom (Institute of Public Relations and Communication)[1] and is located in Ponts-de-Cé/Angers, France.[2] It prepares a double degree in Letters and Political Science in partnership with the University of Angers.[3] "The subjects taught are economics, history, geopolitics, literature, philosophy, modern languages, etc."[4] The first two years of the program are administered at the University of Angers, followed by the third year abroad at a partner university.[3]
Ircom was founded in 1984 by Abbé Hyacinthe-Marie Houard,[1] who was posthumously accused of the act of pedophilia.[2][5][6][7]
This Institut Albert-le-Grand, established by Ircom in 1993,[2] bears the name of (in English) the Saint Albert the Great. Ircom is an establishment with a Catholic identity.[2]
