Overview
Photography education has an over 35-year history at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, with excellent results. From September 2022, the programme will be available in English supported by various scholarships covering up to 100% of the tuition fee. On a university campus with one of the most cutting-edge technical backgrounds in the region, our students become highly autonomous creators, supported by renowned professors in Hungary and Europe, who can respond to the challenges of the world sensitively and progressively, both in local and global contexts. We place a particular focus on the past, present and future of photography in Central and Eastern Europe.
The central elements of the training are the development of long-term photographic projects, research in design and art, the acquisition of an experimental attitude, the exploration of the boundaries of photography, and the collaboration with professional partners and cultural institutions in real-life situations. Already during the training, we place emphasis on the successful participation of our students in international and Hungarian competitions, fairs and festivals.
