A project of human formation. The Institut Catholique de Rennes was founded in 1989 by the Diocesan Directorate of Catholic Education (DDEC) of Ille-et-Vilaine within the framework of the laws of 12 July 1875 and 18 March 1880, which allow the creation of free higher education establishments. Its students are awarded state LMD diplomas by the rector's jury procedure: in Law, History, AES (Economic and Social Administration), Modern Letters, Letters and Communication (DU), English (LLCE), English (Law and International Trade).

Together with the universities, it puts its creative dynamism and all its capacity for innovation and training at the service of young people, responding to their demand for training leading to a diploma and a professional qualification. To this end, the focus is on observation and training courses.

The ICR, recognised as EESPIG in 2018, develops its programmes within the framework of the LMD, seeking a comprehensive training of the student's personality, bringing together the human, scientific and professional dimensions, insisting on the training of responsibility and initiative towards the needs of society through the use of the associative spirit.

Located in the heart of the city of La Roche-sur-Yon, the Institut Catholique d'Etudes Supérieures (ICES) is a university school with an international vocation* which awards State diplomas in the 1st and 2nd cycle. Thanks to a competent and available teaching staff and the small number of students, which allows for personal supervision, almost 9 out of 10 students pass their exams.

The Institut Catholique d'Etudes Supérieures (ICES) is a private higher education institution structured around seven classic university courses: Biology, Law, History, Languages, Modern and Classical Literature, Mathematics-Physics, Political Science.

These courses lead to first and second cycle state university diplomas, either through the rector's jury appointed by the Rector of the Académie de Nantes or through agreements with state universities.

The Institut Catholique d'Etudes Supérieures, created in 1989 on the joint initiative of the Vendée Diocesan Authority and the local authorities (mainly the Department and the Region), implements an innovative educational concept, that of a University School (registered trademark) which relies on an effective training tool whose success is a permanent challenge.
