Az egyetem jelenéről, jövőjéről, az igazi MOME-identitásról és az álmokról is szó esett az idei diplomaosztón, amelyen nemcsak háromszázhúsz hallgató vehette át diplomáját, de új hagyományokkal is gazdagodott az egyetem legszebb ünnepe. Az eseménynek ezúttal a RaM-ArT Színház adott otthont, ahol az alapszakos és mesterszakos végzősök mellett rektori különdíjasokat, jubilálókat, valamint a Wartha-díj és az Etikus Építészeti Viselkedés Díj kitüntetettjeit is köszöntték. Ilyen volt a MOME Diplomaosztója 2025–ben!

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?

How can we make better use of public transport infrastructure? What would a truly fast and effective life-saving device look like? And how can we save agriculture in a world without bees? These are just a few of the questions addressed by our design students, and their imaginative, forward-thinking answers have earned international recognition in the Design Concept category of one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, the Red Dot Award. Seven projects mentored through the MOME Red Dot submission programme stood out from the global competition this year, including diploma projects and semester-long university projects.

The MOME ZERO sustainability programme has reached another important milestone. Designed in collaboration with students, the new composting station will support more sustainable waste management practices on campus from the autumn term. Closely tied to the new community garden also opening later this year, the composting station is more than just a facility – it’s a shared learning environment where students, teachers, and staff have worked together to rethink how green waste is used and reused.

The MOME 2025 graduation visual identity is now complete, offering a visual representation of community-driven future building. At MOME, it’s tradition for the visual identity of the diploma events – from graphic design to the portrait photography of BA and MA graduates – to be designed by students themselves, with the concept chosen through a competition judged by a panel of university staff. The annually revamped visual identity serves as a visual snapshot of its time.

Several students and staff members at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design recently reached important professional milestones and were warmly welcomed – alongside fellow attendees – at the 2025 Spring Title Award Ceremony by Acting Rector Csaba Kovács and Head of the Doctoral School Ábel Szalontai. This past semester, Bence László Dobos, Viola Fátyol, Henrietta Fiáth, Katalin Glaser, Gergely Hartmann, Flóra Kőszeghy, Piroska Novák, Panni Pais, and Valéria Póczos have earned their doctoral degrees, while Erzsébet Nagy, a long-standing and highly respected member of our textile programme, will receive the honorary title of Master Instructor.
