The aim of the Graphic Design MA programme is to train graphic designers who are able to respond sensitively and progressively to global and local challenges and apply their knowledge in their role as an initiator in social, cultural and artistic projects.
The training focuses on design and art research, experimentation and collaboration with the intersections of art and science, as well as on social design, social responsibility and eco-conscious design approaches.
Our students, on account of the widespread professional recognition of the MA degree, their superior command of visual culture, and their high level of human and technological knowledge and media literacy, have an excellent track record in various fields of the creative industry, and the design and the art scene, both domestically and internationally.

A new voice from the next generation of Hungarian animation is set to compete at the world’s leading animation showcase. The diploma film Bonefuzz by Márk László, a 2025 graduate of MOME’s Animation MA programme, has been selected for the graduation film competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, taking place between 21–27 June 2026. Produced by MOME Anim with support from the National Film Institute, László’s 2025 diploma film marks another chapter in a long-running success story – for nearly a decade, MOME diploma films have regularly featured in this prestigious international programme.
The National Graphic Design Biennale was held for the twenty-fifth time, marking five decades as one of the most significant professional showcases of Hungarian graphic design, with a history regarded as exemplary even by international standards. The anniversary edition saw an exceptionally large number of MOME-affiliated designers feature prominently among the awardees, including lecturers as well as former and current students, while two MOME lecturers also served on the awarding jury.
MOME’s Graphic Design programme made a remarkable showing at this year’s RGB Kreatív Design Award, bringing home an impressive ten RED (gold), seven BLUE (silver) and six GREEN (bronze) medals in the Talent category. One student project also reached the finals in the Concept category. In the Pro category, Illustration lecturer László Herbszt earned a RED award for his work. The RGB Awards recognise outstanding achievements in Hungarian visual communication, highlighting outstanding graphic quality, brand building, and media design across the sector.
Events
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.
MOME’s Open Day is back on 31 January, this time in the virtual sphere...
