I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about scaffolding this week.<\/p>\n

One reason is that when I booked my little pension in Gramatneusiedl, what the website didn\u2019t say is that extensive building work would be going on, which at various points has given me brown tap water, a stunning headache, and stunning views of an Austrian builder\u2019s backside.<\/p>\n

Another is that I somehow managed to get a tram in the wrong direction to the Wiener Stadthalle for Semi Final 2 on Thursday, and didn\u2019t notice for at least ten stops. By the time I got into the arena, I ended up stood next to a bunch of grumpy and bizarrely tall Czechia fans with a lovely view of a load of scaffolding holding up the side of the stage and a boom camera that I thought was going to slide my head off if the operator wasn\u2019t concentrating.<\/p>\n

Judging by the wider quality of the production this year from ORF, I think I was reasonable in rating it high on my risk register.<\/p>\n

But the main reason for thinking a lot about scaffolding is the mooching around I\u2019ve been doing while I\u2019m in Vienna into the academic and wider student experience at the two big universities in the city \u2013 the University of Vienna, and the technical university, TU Wien.<\/p>\n

Both have it in two layers. There\u2019s the academic kind \u2013 what the curriculum hangs off that shapes what students are studying. And there\u2019s the kind that sits around it \u2013 a layer of student-run activity that is older, more creative and more expansive than we might see in the UK.<\/p>\n

The two do different work, but they hold each other up. Take one away and the rest goes wobbly.<\/p>\n

Stefania<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s imagine you\u2019re Stefan, who I met and is on the University of Vienna\u2019s Business Administration bachelors \u2013 the country\u2019s largest general-management programme, with around 449 entrants a year.<\/p>\n

The first thing you spot is that of the 180 ECTS credits (ie 360 in the UK), thirty are open \u2013 students can fill the slot with one of dozens of pre-bundled extension curricula drawn…<\/p>\n
