The Architecture MA programme delivers training with an emphasis on complexity, and architectural conceptualisation grounded in research. Students gain proficiency in both individual and group assignments, and an understanding of all aspects of architectural design.
Project-based work is the main focus of this highly autonomous and proactive community’s activity. The studios with realistic programmes are led by active practitioners, facilitating research, exploration, creative process and critical discourse in an innovative, open setting.
By providing an international outlook and exploring overlapping areas with other fields, it delivers progressive and forward-looking solutions to today’s challenges. This internationally competitive degree enables our graduates to find work at the most prominent architecture firms or to take on all-round freelance design jobs.

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.
A MOME a bolognai képzés indulása óta szervez velencei tanulmányutakat a tervezőhallgatók, valamint az elméleti és a menedzserképzés számára. A részvétel a képzőművészeti és az építészeti biennálén az egyetemi oktatás meghatározó eleme: a közös kiállításlátogatások, szakmai beszélgetések segítik az eligazodást a kortárs művészet nemzetközi intézményrendszerében, formálják a hallgatók világképét, az inspiráció pedig jóval túlmutat a közvetlen élményen.
The foyer of Örkény Theatre has been given a new look, designed and built by MOME students. Using wooden floorboards salvaged from the theatre's stage, students on MOME's Architecture MA programme created a new range of furniture, building on work undertaken during a semester-long course. The collaboration stands out not only for the substantial amount of timber repurposed, but also for the rare opportunity it gave a university team to take on a commission of this scale.
Events
On 21 October, the *The Next Station is...* exhibition of the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence will open at Merlin. Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the exhibition, this year’s show presents the work of all 32 scholarship recipients from the 2025/26 academic year, this time outside the MOME Campus, in the iconic Merlin exhibition space in the city centre.
From 8–12 December, MOME KIPAK returns once again! Every corner of the campus will be filled with the works, exhibitions, installations, and presentations of MOME students.
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.
