Our students can deepen their research and expertise in three areas, fashion, textile and costume design, to meet the highest professional challenges as expert and confident designers.
The programme focuses on the development of the designer identity, and helps students sharpen and advance their existing traditional craft and digital technical and theoretical skills. Students can develop their individual styles through research, experimentation and interoperability across broader professional disciplines.
Enabled by scholarships, they can build European professional communities with their peers and meet internationally renowned guest lecturers at our school. The implementation of diploma projects is supported by the faculty, TechPark’s experts, as well as our external professional partners.

Egy diploma megszerzése nem feltétlenül jelenti a szakmai út lezárását, ahogy a mesterszak kiválasztása sem csupán a következÅ‘ lépcsÅ‘fok megtalálásáról szól. A folyamatosan változó világban egyre fontosabb, hogy az elképzeléseink kipróbálására és alakÃtására is nyitottak legyünk. A közelgÅ‘ MOME MA NyÃlt nap apropóján a szakmai önismeretrÅ‘l, a kÃsérletezésrÅ‘l és a továbbtanulásról beszélgettünk a MOME oktatóival, hallgatóival és a Konnekt Egyesület szakemberével.
The recipients of the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence for the spring semester of 2026 have been announced. The sixteen winning projects include an animated series exploring children’s rights, a contemporary cemetery and memorial site, an inclusive tableware set for children, a documentary on collective trauma, and a project exploring the legacy of Tungsram.
How can personal experiences, social phenomena, and material experimentation become the foundations of new design worlds? What do we make of the moment when one important chapter of life comes to an end? On 3 September, the spotlight once again turns to MOME's newest fashion graduates as the MOME Fashion Show 2026 returns to the MOME Campus. The show features collections by graduates of Textile Design BA and the Fashion and Textile Design MA, accompanied by an exhibition. This year’s works explore personal and social experiences of transformation, the ways in which traditions live on, the relationship between natural and artificial systems, and the role of fashion in shaping identity.
Events
Debra McGuire, the costume designer behind Friends, is coming to MOME.
She has helped shape the look of some of Hollywood's most iconic films and television series, creating costumes for productions including Friends, Anchorman, Superbad, Freaks and Geeks, New Girl, and The Morning Show. During her visit to Hungary, McGuire will present her latest book, Dressing the Story: The Art of Costume Design. Drawing on nearly five decades of experience, she offers a behind-the-scenes look at the art of costume design and discusses how individual garments help define characters, tell stories, and build the visual worlds of film and television in her talk delivered in English.
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 is hosting its own exhibition at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, as part of the Class of 2026 section!
The works on display grew out of material research, designer maker, graphic design, and textile design processes developed through MOME’s thematic courses, and its MA diploma preparation, research, and incubation mentoring programmes.
Facilities
In addition to performing assignments from the Garment Accessory Design Specialisation of the Textile Design Programme, leather craft, as well as shoe and hat-making technologies are also taught. It is a modelling workshop with state-of-the-art equipment that also interacts with other workshops (Modelling, Metal, 3D Printer, Laser Cutting). In addition to raw materials made of natural leather, this workshop also deals with textiles, films, and other alternative materials.
Students of the Textil Department can make garments of design task in the Fashion workshop.
In the Fashion workshop students can learn different skills, pattern development (flat pattern making, draping and CAD/CAM), tailoring, sewing, ironing, fusing technology.
The Knitting Workshop at TechPark allows students to learn the fundamentals of machine knitting on 7 double needle-bed manual flat-knitting machines, 9 single needle-bed manual flat-knitting machines (Silver Reed LK150) and 8 electronically-controlled double needle-bed flat-knitting machines (Silver Reed SK 840) of different types and levels of subtlety. Three band-knitting machines and a string knitting machine are also available.
Certain threads can be made suitable for knitting with the 2x4 head cross winding machine in the workshop. The sheets produced on the flat knitting machines can be made into cardigans and other knitted garments with the help of a hem stitch sewing machine and a chain stich sewing machine.
