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.

Top Hat and Spuds Nose, Time Stands Still, Dollybirds, Father, The Tot Family – these timeless Hungarian classics have been given exciting contemporary posters by illustration students of MOME's Graphic Design programme in a course co-organised by the National Film Institute and Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. The posters are displayed at the MOME Zugligeti Campus and the Corvin Cinema, where the fully restored films can also be viewed on the silver screen.
The MOME Graphic Design programme has enjoyed a productive and successful period, with students and teachers both receiving several international accolades in recent months.
A unique exhibition featuring works by former and current MOME graphic design students opened at the BBBKultPont Gallery and Community Space, located on Bartók Béla út – the cultural high street of Buda – on 8 May 2023. PICK as a Hungarian brand with a history dating back 150 years, and the salami-related experiences defining the taste memories of several generations provided the inspiration for the exhibition, and the artworks were reviewed and evaluated by an expert jury.
