The aim of the Product Design BA programme is to help students master design thinking and the steps of the design process from the exploration of user requirements and brainstorming to model building and preparations for execution – both in product and service design.
A wide range of projects (product design, system design, experimental assignments, etc.) enable everyone to find their area of interest and hone the required skills. Students will learn to present their ideas using drawings, 3D models and prototypes created in the workshops.
We are involved in collaborations with a number of governmental and non-governmental organisations in addition to our business partners, helping students broaden their horizons and enhance their social and societal sensitivity. Our graduates can hold their own in international competition, find jobs with design studios and companies, start their own business or move on to MA programmes.

Micro-mobility solutions, clever storage innovations for homes and offices, a nuclear contamination detector, and playful pencil sharpeners galore – this year’s Best of Forma exhibition featuring works by MOME’s Product Design BA and Design MA students at the Budapest Design Week 2024 offered an exciting vision of creativity. This year, the young students stepped away from conventional exhibition spaces, presenting their works in the vibrant Kollab co-working environment, where visitors could enjoy a cup of coffee while viewing the showcase. The displayed projects reflected a wide array of unique perspectives, with designs responding to everyday challenges while keeping sustainability at the forefront. From food waste and mobility to storage and upcycling materials, the projects presented remarkable and intriguing solutions to contemporary issues.
