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.

This year, the MOME community celebrated the graduates of twelve MA and nine BA courses in a festive ceremony. Speeches were given by interior designer Mrs. Bánki née Laura Szerdahelyi, one of our jubilee graduates, who turns 91 this year and designed the interiors of Déli Railway Station; Curator and László Moholy-Nagy’s grandson Daniel Hug; and designer Stefan Lengyel, who is celebrating a milestone anniversary this year. In addition to conferring the degrees, this year’s Rector’s Special Awards and several professional awards were announced, and the Gold, Diamond and Iron jubilee graduates also received their certificates.
Milyen történeteket őriznek a BKV talált tárgyai, hogyan lehet örömteli tárgyakat tervezni látássérült embereknek, mit kezd a design a digitális beleegyezés vagy a tradwife-esztétika kérdéseivel, és hogyan válhat a városi lakhatás és a holokausztoktatás diplomamunka-témává? A Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem 2026-os mestermunkái idén is arról adnak képet, mi foglalkoztatja a pályára lépő alkotó-tervező generációt: a kiállított munkák személyes nézőpontból közelítenek társadalmi, környezeti és technológiai kihívásokhoz.

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.
