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.

For years, the visual identity of the MOME Diploma event series has been based on a concept selected through an open call. This tradition is closely tied to the university’s educational profile. For students, building the visual world of the Diploma is an excellent opportunity to take on a complex communication challenge as independent designers, drawing on what they have learned in graphic design, photography, or media design. Created specifically for the occasion, the identity also serves as a visual snapshot of its time, tying together the annually recurring Diploma process and giving it a distinctive, memorable character.

The work of Photography MA students Szebasztián Fehér and Mátyás Czeglédi will be featured at this year’s OFF Bratislava 2026 photography festival. Curated by Anna Fabricius DLA, a lecturer at MOME, the exhibition Landscape Constructs brings together two distinct artistic 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.

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.
