Sam, I don't know these 2 institutions but if it is what we have here, some of ours don't provide the academics that an employer values . Ask them to provide a list of jobs that the students have gotten then call those firms and ask if the students were qualified and are still working and advancing with the firms. If they can't or won't then walk away.
Also go to different production studios and ask them where they hire from and what their min qualifications are.
Since I am not the world traveler that you are, I ask this in ignorance but is the culture in Vienna accepting of an English transplant in this field of work. Here sometimes it's the "Good Ole Boy" system that prevents some from entering a narrow economic field.
Plan B write a hit, sell it to a star and live well. BTW I'm still trying to figure plan "B" out
