Egy diploma megszerzése nem feltétlenül jelenti a szakmai út lezárását, ahogy a mesterszak kiválasztása sem csupán a következő lépcsőfok megtalálásáról szól. A folyamatosan változó világban egyre fontosabb, hogy az elképzeléseink kipróbálására és alakítására is nyitottak legyünk. A közelgő MOME MA Nyílt nap apropóján a szakmai önismeretről, a kísérletezésről és a továbbtanulásról beszélgettünk a MOME oktatóival, hallgatóival és a Konnekt Egyesület szakemberével.

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.

What stories lie behind the objects people leave behind on Budapest’s public transport? How can design create joyful objects for blind and partially sighted people? What does design have to say about digital consent or tradwife aesthetics? And how can urban housing or Holocaust education become the subject of a diploma project? This year’s MA diploma projects at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design once again show what currently engages the new generation of emerging artists and designers. The works on display look at social, environmental and technological challenges from personal perspectives.

On 21 October, the *The Next Station is...* exhibition of the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence will open at Merlin. Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the exhibition, this year’s show presents the work of all 32 scholarship recipients from the 2025/26 academic year, this time outside the MOME Campus, in the iconic Merlin exhibition space in the city centre.

MOME’s Open Day is back on 31 January, this time in the virtual sphere...
