Key Facts
The Maturierenden-Messe Bern is a platform for universities and companies to present themselves and their offerings to high school students and talk to them in person.
High school graduates, vocational school graduates, and technical school graduates attending the fair will find answers to the important question: “What happens after graduation?”
The Bern High School Graduates Fair will be held for the first time in fall 2026, parallel to BAM.LIVE.
