From now on, MOME graduates are given a Heritage of the Future symbol to take home upon graduation
Date: 2024.07.16
A new symbol has been added to the range of memorabilia that members of the MOME community can receive as they reach various milestones in their university careers. This new emblem, which reinforces a sense of belonging, is a turned and machined bronze item with a polished surface based on the letter ‘O’ in MOME’s logo. Designed by MOME MA teacher Krisztián Ádám at the initiative of Rector József Fülöp, this symbol will be awarded to all graduates at all levels along with the diplomas starting in 2024.
From 2024, graduates at every training level (BA, MA, DLA, PhD) will receive a circular bronze emblem symbolising unity and belonging to the community along with their diplomas. This O-shaped emblem is part and an accessory of the diploma and attached to it with the help of a small clasp. It is threaded with a blue braided cord that matches the diploma binding. It is also a wearable piece of jewellery, which can come into interplay with the human body and clothing in many ways. When worn, it becomes a splendid statement about belonging to the community. One side of the emblem features the MOME logo, the type of degree obtained, and the year the diploma was awarded.
