Content development is at the heart of the programme, which teaches students the different roles and processes of animation production as well as and the use of immersive and emerging technologies (AR, VR, MR). The main pillars of the Animation MA programme are developing independent perspectives, finding an individual artistic voice and creative method, and mastering a responsible design approach.

Egy diploma megszerzése nem feltétlenül jelenti a szakmai út lezárását, ahogy a mesterszak kiválasztása sem csupán a következő lépcsőfok megtalálásáról szól. A folyamatosan változó világban egyre fontosabb, hogy az elképzeléseink kipróbálására és alakítására is nyitottak legyünk. A közelgő MOME MA Nyílt nap apropóján a szakmai önismeretről, a kísérletezésről és a továbbtanulásról beszélgettünk a MOME oktatóival, hallgatóival és a Konnekt Egyesület szakemberével.
The recipients of the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence for the spring semester of 2026 have been announced. The sixteen winning projects include an animated series exploring children’s rights, a contemporary cemetery and memorial site, an inclusive tableware set for children, a documentary on collective trauma, and a project exploring the legacy of Tungsram.
Following its selection for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, one of the world's leading animation events, the latest work of Hungarian animation is set for another prestigious regional showcase. Márk László's diploma film Bonefuzz will continue its festival run in the competition programme of the Sarajevo Film Festival. The filmmaker, who graduated from MOME’s Animation MA programme in 2025, previously saw the film shortlisted for the graduation film competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Inspired by a work of literature, the film explores the inner world of a hearing-impaired boy, taking audiences to a gothic warehouse concert.

What’s the science behind cuteness? How might we rethink bulky waste collection in Budapest, or even redesign a fruit dryer? What does it mean to reconnect with nature, and is it really necessary to store the endless streams of data we’re generating today? These are just some of the questions addressed by the masterworks featured in the 2025 Diploma Exhibition of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME). This year’s graduates explore global and societal challenges through the lens of design and art, with works spanning four major themes: the climate crisis, social innovation, dignified care and healthcare, and the future of cultural heritage in an ever-accelerating world.
