The aim of the University of the Future is to provide MOME students with up-to-date knowledge and tools to launch their creative careers. These skills can be acquired in three schools that are built on each other.

From 2025 onwards, the MOME Classic School will take care of the undergraduate courses at our university. Here, students will not only learn the basics of their chosen creative discipline, but will also deepen their general literacy and knowledge through joint courses, enhancing their versatility.

If you are coming to MOME as a Master or PhD student, you can now find them in the MOME Future School. Here you can be part of a community where people from different creative disciplines learn, research and think together about the most important social and ecological challenges.

If you have already graduated and are building your professional career, the MOME Professional School courses are for you. In these analogue and online courses, you can gain fresh and immediately applicable knowledge on the most timely and exciting topics in the creative industries.

The "Three Schools" Model

The University of the Future enters a new phase - the Senate has approved the implementation plan

The University of the Future initiative is a key focus this year, aimed at MOME’s comprehensive revitalisation. Thanks to persistent efforts over recent months, working groups have developed a detailed implementation plan for the University of the Future programme, a.k.a. the “Three Schools model”, which was unanimously accepted in December 2023. The process has now reached a new milestone: on 18 July, the Senate has pledged its support for the plan, paving the way for continued collaborative work to implement the new structure by next winter and to transform MOME into one of Europe's leading design higher education institutions.

We view change not as a project but as a prospect

MOME is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, rethinking the challenges of future design education while building on its 144-year legacy. The University of the Future model aims to develop a sustainable, future-proof, and resilient strategy. We spoke with two key figures driving this change: landscape architect, sustainability expert, Vice Rector for Strategy, and professional lead of the University of the Future project Dániel Barcza, and strategist and organisational psychologist leading the implementation Lili Érmezei. They discussed the development process, major challenges, and the requirements to ensure the sustainability of the university’s vision in the long run.

The future of the university, the university of the future

What and how can we study at MOME in ten or even twenty years? How can the university remain up-to-date and provide answers to the pressing challenges of the century, and the needs of the future? The Foundation for the Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design asked the university community to develop a 21st-century education model, the ‘University of the Future 2025-2045’, in line with the international ambitions of the institution, as part of the model change. At the MOME Senate meeting in early December, the programme was approved by the Senate of the University without abstention or dissent, with 100% of the votes, representing an unprecedented level of support in the history of the institution.
