The Smart Mobility specialisation in the Design MA course at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design trains students to design vehicles and transport systems for the future of mobility.

The Smart Mobility specialisation within the Design MA of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest (MOME) explores responsible solutions to address future mobility challenges.

In MOME Budapest's Design MA course, we train product designers to interpret the world in a broader context, respond with social sensitivity, and equip them with skills to develop high-quality design concepts.

The Smart Mobility specialisation explores responsible solutions to address the mobility challenges of the future through designing a vehicle or transport system.

You will work in small, diverse groups on future challenges in a variety of design assignments with market partners, developing a real expertise-based, experimental, critical and creative attitude.

The first semester will focus on sustainable mobility and its social aspects, the second on strategic thinking and systems design methods and the third on circular mobility.

Along these concepts, you will master various research methodologies, visual communications aligned with mobility design industry standards, strategic and business thinking models and design tools to support environmental sustainability.

MOME has recently introduced a unique approach towards how students deal with our environment, society, time and wellbeing to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Rooted in sustainability and innovation, thematic challenges connected to all of MOME's MA programmes will equip students with the creative tools and knowledge needed to design meaningful, future-ready solutions.

Through hands-on projects, interdisciplinary collaboration and a forward-thinking approach, you will explore new ways to create resilient and inclusive spaces, ideas, objects, art and more, while redefining the role of design in global transformation.
