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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
