Paris student fair for health, social and sport careers 2026

The Salon de l'Etudiant santé, social, paramédical et sport returns to Porte de Versailles on 10-11 October 2026, doors open from 10:00 to 18:00. It is Paris's key gathering for sixth-formers, university students and families aiming at careers in healthcare, social work, paramedical services or sport. Across two days, visitors can walk stands from universities, specialist schools, training centres and sector organisations. Lecturers, current students and working professionals share first-hand experience and answer questions about curricula, entrance exams and job prospects. A full conference and workshop programme covers Parcoursup applications, exam preparation and pathway selection, with one-to-one advice available. Entry is free but registration is required to receive a personalised invitation. The fair is run in partnership with the Région académique Île-de-France and the Région Île-de-France, giving it strong institutional backing. It takes place in Pavillon 7.2 of the exhibition centre, with direct metro access and several public transport options.
