Perpignan Higher Education and Careers Forum 2027

The Forum des études supérieures et des métiers in Perpignan brings together universities, colleges, vocational schools and training providers under one roof for a single day of orientation. Held in the Grand Hall of the Parc des Expositions, the fair is built around face-to-face conversations at the stands and a programme of short talks where journalists and education specialists unpack the questions students ask most: which degree to pick, how Parcoursup actually works, the difference between a licence and a BUT, and how to land an apprenticeship or internship. The event is run with the support of the Direction des services départementaux de l'éducation nationale des Pyrénées-Orientales, and it is designed for both individual visitors and school groups. Entry is free but requires a named, pre-booked invitation, which can be shown on a phone instead of printed. Conference sessions run for around 45 minutes and are free to attend without a separate booking. Travellers coming from outside Perpignan often prefer to stay within walking distance of the Parc des Expositions on Avenue du Palais des Expositions, which is well served by public transport and has parking nearby. The exhibitor list goes live roughly two weeks before the fair and the interactive floor plan about ten days ahead, so booking a hotel early is the easiest way to combine the visit with a night in the city.
