Lyon Health, Social, Paramedical and Sports Careers Fair 2026

The Salon de l'Etudiant santé, social, paramédical et sport à Lyon 2026 takes over the Centre de Congrès in the Cité Internationale, bringing together students, families and academic advisers who want to explore careers in healthcare, social work, paramedical fields and sport. Over a single day, visitors can talk directly to course leaders, working professionals and current students, and get straight answers about entry requirements, admissions and job prospects. The fair places a strong emphasis on Parcoursup preparation and on the competitive entrance exams for different tracks. Expert-led talks and workshops run throughout the day, hosted by L'Etudiant journalists, covering study choices, work-study routes and selection processes. Exhibitors range from medical and pharmacy faculties to nursing schools, social work institutes and sports science departments. The event is held under the high patronage of the French Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Space, in partnership with AGERA. Registration is free but compulsory, and each invitation is personal. For those travelling to Lyon, the venue's position next to the Parc de la Tête d'Or and the Cité Internationale transport links make it easy to combine the visit with a hotel stay nearby.
