Students of the BA in Graphic Design are internationally competitive in their ability to use visuality as a tool for communicating and interpreting information. The course takes you through media such as posters, books, visual identity and interactive digital interfaces.
The programme progresses gradually from the fundamentals of imaging to the multiplatform architecture of complex visual systems. A key part of the training is the development of a responsible design attitude, combining a unique artistic approach with a high level of practical, economic and cultural understanding.
The knowledge delivered by the programme provides a solid foundation for proceeding to MA level or for pursuing this line of work, and our graduates have an excellent track record securing jobs in a wide variety of visual fields in the creative industry.

A new voice from the next generation of Hungarian animation is set to compete at the world’s leading animation showcase. The diploma film Bonefuzz by Márk László, a 2025 graduate of MOME’s Animation MA programme, has been selected for the graduation film competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, taking place between 21–27 June 2026. Produced by MOME Anim with support from the National Film Institute, László’s 2025 diploma film marks another chapter in a long-running success story – for nearly a decade, MOME diploma films have regularly featured in this prestigious international programme.
The National Graphic Design Biennale was held for the twenty-fifth time, marking five decades as one of the most significant professional showcases of Hungarian graphic design, with a history regarded as exemplary even by international standards. The anniversary edition saw an exceptionally large number of MOME-affiliated designers feature prominently among the awardees, including lecturers as well as former and current students, while two MOME lecturers also served on the awarding jury.
MOME’s Graphic Design programme made a remarkable showing at this year’s RGB KreatÃv Design Award, bringing home an impressive ten RED (gold), seven BLUE (silver) and six GREEN (bronze) medals in the Talent category. One student project also reached the finals in the Concept category. In the Pro category, Illustration lecturer László Herbszt earned a RED award for his work. The RGB Awards recognise outstanding achievements in Hungarian visual communication, highlighting outstanding graphic quality, brand building, and media design across the sector.
