MOME plays a key role in the development of the Hungarian design scene and is a defining institution of Hungarian creative and design culture. Many of their students have played key roles in their respective fields, and the university is a centre for their creative industries. 

The university is committed to supporting a wide range of creative activities with the mission to achieve world-class teaching, research, and development in the arts, design, and creativity.

The university is dedicated to the education of individuals who will act as innovators to improve life and social systems in the 21st century through the intelligent application of design, technology, and contemporary artistic strategies. This has led to a collaboration with Sidonies and the design and creation of awards, trophies, and memorials embedded in educational activities.
