Our MA programme enables students to become open-minded professionals who are receptive to global trends and local challenges, and can provide sustainable responses through material-oriented solutions. 
Students can learn to use their art to make an internationally relevant positive impact, whether by creating craft-produced limited-series items or autonomous works of art intended for exhibitions and the art market.
Research assignments, design studies and studio exercises provide opportunities to participate in national and international professional events, exhibitions, competitions and facilitate career advancement after graduation.

What will the University of the Future, the student of the future, and the artist of the future look like? At the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME)’s 2024 Open Day on 25 October, you’ll have the chance to explore programmes such as Product Design, Animation, Design Culture, Photography, and Designer-Maker. You can also explore the inspiring spaces of one of the leading creative universities in the region, the sports facilities, the park, and the University of the Future project, and pick up essential tips on building a winning admissions portfolio.

Research suggests that by the time you finish reading this, 15,000 tons of construction waste will have been generated in Europe, 80% of which is not recycled. The COMPO RDI course was launched three years ago at MOME to address this issue, and focuses on a vision of a circular construction industry.

Organised for the 25th year in a row, Designblok is one of the greatest design fairs in Central Europe. This year, MOME Design Institute also had a booth with works by Ceramics and Product Design students.

Facilities

The lab introduces modern technology into the world of object creation. Technologies in the workshop include: Laser cutting, Engraving, 3D printing, 3D scanning, Vinyl film cutting (plotter cutting), ceramic decal printing, Prototyping. There are four computers available to students. Kindly take into consideration that printing may last up to 10–20 hours, so please find out any necessary information in time. Please bring your 3D models in .stl format.

The Metalworker Workshop serves as the venue for learning about and practicing traditional and modern technologies that are closely linked to metalworking. Students can apply the theoretical and practical knowledge they learn under teacher supervision, but independently while modelling, completing or while their objects are being constructed. It is important for students to become capable of leveraging experience gained during the workshop creatively while solving their assignments, taking into account design criteria and requirements.

Ceramic, glass and porcelain objects are modelled and their moulds are created in the Plaster Workshop, but the works of other departments needing plaster moulds are also served here. Moulds are created on the one hand on the plaster lathes by turning, and, on the other hand, on the marble tables by plaster casting, using patterns or by wood-carving. In a separated part of the workshop, there is an area suitable for metal- and woodworking equipped with a vice, a bench drill, a grinder, and handheld power tools. Silicone casting can also be carried out in the workshop.
