Journalism students have had their work featured by the BBC as part of a partnership between the corporation aand their university.

Two short films produced by University of Stirling students have been uploaded to the iPlayer service after they were developed in collaboration with BBC Scotland’s flagship journalism strand ‘Disclosure’.

The documentaries were created following a series of masterclasses led by senior BBC journalists, and students were invited to pitch ideas for a documentary.

Two were then commissioned, with teams of five students receiving mentoring and support from BBC staff including Disclosure editor Shelley Jofre and journalist Mark Daly – both of whom are Stirling graduates.

Kirsty Craib, Alice Williams, Danielle Hilton, Andrew Lockhart and Caitlin Campbell made ‘Do I Have ADHD?’ in which reporter Kirsty explores the issues around diagnosis of the condition in girls and young women, while also pursuing her own journey to discover if she has the condition.

Kim Drummond, Stan Stawowiak, Caroline Ring, Shoshannah Hull and Cameron Hutchinson made ‘Is My Flat Safe?’, investigating the living conditions experienced by some Edinburgh social housing residents struggling with damp and mould.

Kirsty, pictured, said: “Disclosure was massively helpful in building my confidence with filmmaking. The mentors were encouraging and I learned a lot from them that will stick with me for future projects.

“It was a fun experience all the way through, finishing with a final piece we are all really proud of, and addressing an issue I have been dealing with for many years.”

Professor Dario Sinforiani, head of production reaching at the University of Stirling and executive producer for the Disclosure films, added: “I am delighted and proud to have been involved in this unique project, a genuine and unprecedented partnership between the University and BBC Scotland.

“The student teams have produced very strong films telling important stories and investigating crucial issues. The BBC mentors provided excellent professional support and guidance, and we are delighted both with the films and the fact that BBC Scotland is showcasing them on iPlayer under their flagship Disclosure strand.

“I hope this is the start of an ongoing relationship with the Disclosure team and BBC Scotland.”
