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.

News
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.
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.
Events
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.
From 8–12 December, MOME KIPAK returns once again! Every corner of the campus will be filled with the works, exhibitions, installations, and presentations of MOME students.
