At the heart of the University of the Future is a focus on the university community - enhancing opportunities for students, and increasing the value of its faculty, researchers and staff. As part of this renewal, we are reducing the administrative burden on teachers and researchers, while increasing the role and scope of colleagues involved in the care and development of courses. The professional development and career support of MOME's teachers and researchers will be a priority, and new tools will be put in place to help them stay healthy and strengthen their social security.

The "Three Schools" Model

BA programmes

The Classic School

The Classic School is a classical foundational training preparing students for working in the creative industries, going to market, and continuous learning. The new system of preparatory and undergraduate education is tailored to the needs of Gen Z and Alpha. It places a strong emphasis on personalised student development and mentoring, community building, and prioritising key thematic areas defining their future, such as the innovative use of new technologies, solving ecological issues, and tackling social and societal challenges.

MA and doctoral programmes; research, incubation, and innovation

The Future School

The Future School is an interdisciplinary innovation school focusing on, and preparing MA and doctoral students, and researchers for the complex issues of the future. Its education, research, and incubation units form a unique innovation ecosystem unparalleled in the world of academia.

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.
