MOME Diploma 2022

Date: 2022.05.23
The 2022 diploma process of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design – the final and most important event series in the university years of graduating students – is about to begin.

After the public diploma defence of nearly 120 students from 12 Master’s programmes, an exhibition from their thesis projects will be available for viewing at the refreshed campus, and the closing graduation ceremony will feature speeches by two illustrious international experts, from the philosophy and the design scenes, respectively. 

Diploma defence 

Each year, graduation is a crucial period not only for MOME’s graduating students, but also for the entire university community. The process starts with the public diploma defence by the MA students, where they present their thesis projects completed as a conclusion of their studies to the examination committee. Once again, this year’s MA diploma defences will take place live, at the university campus between 31 May and 16 June. 

The schedule with the precise dates and venues is available at: https://mome.hu/hu/diplomavedesek-2022. 

Diploma exhibition 

An exhibition featuring the thesis projects of graduating MA students will be open for viewing between the 17 and 18 June on MOME’s campus. The event, which in 2021 took place online due to the pandemic, will be held live this year, in the refreshed buildings and spaces of the university. 
The exact exhibition venues will be announced at a later date.
Last year's online diploma exhibition may be viewed here.

Graduation ceremony 

At the conclusion of the graduation process, BA and MA students will receive their diploma at the graduation ceremony. Two guests, a prominent figure of philosophy and of design each is invited by the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design to speak at this year’s ceremony. 

Philosopher and culture theoretician Byung-Chul Han and chief design officer for Mercedes-Benz Gorden Wagener will deliver a speech at the BA graduation ceremony on 30 June, and at the MA graduation ceremony on 1 July, respectively. 

More news

For the first time, the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) is taking part in the Budapest100 event series, which in 2025 will raise awareness about the importance of urban green spaces, gardens, and parks. MOME’s 15,000-square-metre, revitalised campus garden not only serves as a venue but also plays an active role in the festival with its eco-conscious developments and community activities. Budapest100 is an architectural and cultural festival that celebrates communities and the city, bringing neighbours closer together. From 22–25 May 2025, we’ll be focusing on urban green spaces, courtyards, gardens, and green corridors, along with the communities who nurture them.

In 2025, the Startup Safari took place for the tenth year running, marking it as the largest community event in Hungary's startup ecosystem. Over the course of two days, it brought together 700 participants, featuring 200 sessions across seven venues. One of the most exciting programme offerings was presented at the Zugligeti campus. On the second day of the conference, MOME not only served as the venue but also hosted professional events that introduced participants to the university's forward-thinking projects and groundbreaking collaborations.

What tools does a designer, architect, or media artist use today? How is MOME preparing to meet the technological and professional needs of future generations, and why is it essential for designers to be proficient with 3D printers and laser cutters? This was explored during a presentation at MOME, where participants had the chance to see the latest developments in studios and workshops. Thanks to these innovations, students can learn not only traditional techniques but also master the use of cutting-edge tools and professional filmmaking equipment.
