Studyrama Grandes Écoles Fair Montpellier 2026: where to stay

The Studyrama Grandes Écoles Fair in Montpellier brings together dozens of French higher-education institutions each year to help students shape their academic plans. It takes place at the Montpellier Parc des Expositions, in Hall B1, as a single open day. Exhibitors include business and management schools such as Montpellier Business School, KEDGE and ISG, engineering schools such as Polytech Montpellier, CESI, EPITECH and the UT group (UTC, UTT, UTBM), plus economic and scientific preparatory classes represented by teacher associations and lycées. Health institutes, art schools, defence and security bodies and international programmes are also on hand. The fair is designed both for secondary and sixth-form students choosing their next step, and for parents looking for practical information on entrance exams, work-study tracks and career outcomes. Entry is free, and the layout is organised around stands where visitors can talk directly with programme managers, faculty and current students. Montpellier is one of France's most vibrant student cities, welcoming more than 10,000 new students each year. Staying close to the exhibition centre makes it easy to combine the fair with a first look at student life in the city.
