I’m joining the MOME Alumni community

Who can be a member of the MOME alumni community?

MOME Alumni includes all former students who have graduated with a bachelor's, master's, postgraduate, or doctoral degree from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design or its predecessor institutions (Hungarian Academy of Applied Arts, later the Hungarian University of Applied Arts). If you are a MOME Alumni, join the MOME Alumni community!

Alumni Mentor Programme

The MOME Alumni Mentor Programme includes three Master's programmes: the Art and Design Management MA, Architecture MA and Fashion and Textile Design MA. Designed to connect current students with MOME alumni, the career-themed programme enables graduates to offer mentorship and guidance to the next generation. Through the formation of mentor-mentee pairs, mentors provide support via personal consultation, drawing on their professional experiences, while mentees can gain valuable perspectives on career opportunities after graduation, ask questions about specific fields, and build their professional networks. This initiative allows the latest industry experiences of MOME’s alumni community to be directly shared within the University.

Three MOME graduation films are competing at the Fresh Meat International Short Film Festival in Budapest: Wish You Were Ear by Mirjana Balogh, The Last Drop by Anna Tőkés, and Glasshouse by Kata Sárdi.

Hungarian animation in the spotlight: MOME film at Annecy

Elite sport, ambition, tension, and extreme mental and physical strain – these are the central themes explored in The Last Drop, a gripping animated short by Anna Tőkés. The film has been shortlisted for the graduation film category at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, one of the most prestigious showcases for animation worldwide. This year, the festival is paying tribute to Hungarian animation, shining the light on the country’s vibrant film industry, artists, studios, and schools.

MOME alumni among the winners of the 8th ArtHungry Award

The winners of the eighth ArtHungry Award in the Product Design category include several former MOME students, such as Máté Guthy, Róbert Kristóffy, and Nóra Szilágyi for their ‘At Least’ home workout bench, and Márk Dávid for his ‘Puritaan – 03’ collection. The main prize in this category went to MAIII COLLECTIVE for its Fragments collection, which debuted at this year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair. In the Graphic Design category, Nóra Kaszanyi also received a main prize for her album and exhibition design ‘Biedermeier Lifestyles. Art and the Rise of the Middle Classes in 19th-Century Hungary (1815–1867)’. The awards were presented on 6 March at a ceremony held at Deák Palace in Budapest, which also marked the opening of a pop-up exhibition featuring the finalist projects.

Another international triumph: Balogh Mirjana's Wish You Were Ear takes home the Crystal Bear

In a remarkable achievement, Wish You Were Ear, an animated diploma film from MOME’s Animation department, has won the prestigious Crystal Bear for Best Short Film at this year’s Berlinale. Sponsored by the National Film Institute (NFI), the film was lauded by the Berlinale Generation 14+ jury for its poignant reminder of how communication, mutual respect, and understanding are essential to human existence, no matter how varied our individual experiences may be. The award was presented on Friday evening at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival to Balogh, a MOME graduate from the class of 2024.

The MAIII Collective makes its debut in Stockholm

Every object carries a story, but do minimalist contemporary furniture pieces also tell a story, and if so, what is it? This question is explored by the Fragments collection making its debut at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, one of the largest furniture exhibitions in the world. The artists behind this collection are the members of the MAIII Collective, a group of recent graduates from the MOME Product Design master's programme. Their narrative objects will be featured in the Greenhouse section, which provides a platform for emerging designers to showcase their work.
