From now on, MOME graduates are given a Heritage of the Future symbol to take home upon graduation
Date: 2024.07.16
A new symbol has been added to the range of memorabilia that members of the MOME community can receive as they reach various milestones in their university careers. This new emblem, which reinforces a sense of belonging, is a turned and machined bronze item with a polished surface based on the letter ‘O’ in MOME’s logo. Designed by MOME MA teacher Krisztián Ádám at the initiative of Rector József Fülöp, this symbol will be awarded to all graduates at all levels along with the diplomas starting in 2024.
From 2024, graduates at every training level (BA, MA, DLA, PhD) will receive a circular bronze emblem symbolising unity and belonging to the community along with their diplomas. This O-shaped emblem is part and an accessory of the diploma and attached to it with the help of a small clasp. It is threaded with a blue braided cord that matches the diploma binding. It is also a wearable piece of jewellery, which can come into interplay with the human body and clothing in many ways. When worn, it becomes a splendid statement about belonging to the community. One side of the emblem features the MOME logo, the type of degree obtained, and the year the diploma was awarded.

The MOME Directorate for Grants and Development has closed an outstanding year, securing multimillion-euro funding for a diverse range of research projects, including AR Symposium, Zenctuary VR+, and Waterside Voices. These projects span fields as diverse as urban development, nature conservation, contemporary dance, and the application of cutting-edge VR technology in healthcare. For the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), bringing its projects to life to address the complex challenges of the 21st century is a top priority. As state funding is becoming increasingly scarce, securing and effectively utilising grant opportunities has emerged as a critical strategic focus.
What makes MOME appealing to young people? This question was explored in depth by the MOME delegation at the 8th Konnekt Live Career Orientation Festival that included designer and lecturer Dániel Ruppert, Animation student Enikő Svarcz, Textile Design BA student András Parag, and graphic designer and MOME alumna Dóra Sirály. In a discussion with the audience aged 16 to 20, the team shared insights into their respective fields, explained the admission process, and discussed the career opportunities available to MOME graduates.
On the Boundary Lines, a selection of contemporary jewellery created by current
and former students of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design is now on
display in six dedicated cases in the Dome Hall of the Hungarian National Museum.
These pieces form part of the newly opened Shine! – The Era of Jewellery exhibition,
which spans from prehistoric times to the present day. Alongside historical
artefacts, the MOME works highlight the diversity and innovation of contemporary
jewellery design. The selection features themes central to MOME’s design
philosophy, including nature, space, the body, memory, and imagination.
