Applications for the student mobility under the Erasmus+ project "Waves of Learning II – New Horizons" (2026-1-HR01-KA122-VET-000443387) are now closed. For 12 places on a two-week work placement in maritime companies in Limassol, Cyprus, to be held from 19 April to 3 May 2027, 48 students of the Nautical Officer and Marine Engineering programmes applied: 29 final-year students and 19 third-year students.
Selection was carried out according to the scoring table published with the call: overall academic achievement, average grades in vocational subjects and English, conduct and disciplinary measures in the previous school year, participation in school curriculum activities in 2025/2026, and a motivation letter assessed against five pre-published criteria. Students with fewer opportunities received two additional points. Class teachers verified the data on grades, conduct and activities, and the school's Erasmus team assessed all motivation letters against the same criteria.
The provisional ranking list has been published to students on EduPage under applicant codes. The deadline for appeals, access to one's own application and submission of supporting documents is 14 October 2026, after which the final list will be published. Students ranked 13th and below are kept as substitutes in list order.
Before the mobility, the selected students will complete linguistic, vocational and cultural preparation and sign a learning agreement. In Limassol, one of Europe's largest centres for fleet management, they will get to know shore-based maritime operations: ship–shore communication, voyage coordination and technical and safety support to vessels. Travel, accommodation and subsistence costs are covered by the Erasmus+ programme.
We thank all students for their applications and the effort put into their motivation letters, and the class teachers for their cooperation in verifying the data.
