Media and TV students help Miss Scotland shine on world stage
Media and TV students from Glasgow Clyde College have collaborated with Miss Scotland, Amy Scott, to produce video content to aid her bid to be crowned Miss World 2025.
The students gained real world-filming experience on two shoots in a variety of iconic Scottish landmarks, developing key skills for their future careers in the creative industry including filming, lighting and audio.
The current Miss Scotland title holder reached out the college looking for assistance with the video aspects of her Miss World entry, including creating a contestant introduction video and a documentary.
Five young Media and TV students from Glasgow Clyde College consisting of Archie, Eilidh, Heather, Lauren and Niamh were selected to support Amy’s goal of global glory in India this month.
The prestigious annual competition runs from 7 May to 31 May in Hyderabad with the videos from Glasgow Clyde College students set to receive national and international exposure if Amy ranks amongst the top contestants
For the introduction video, the team of college students put their skills to the test and travelled around the country with Amy filming in iconic Scottish landmarks including Glencoe, St Andrew's and the Falkirk Wheel to showcase the nation’s beauty.
The documentary saw the students focus in on the charity aspect of Miss World, filming interviews and highlighting Amy’s work with Multiple Sclerosis charities such as MS Society and Revive MS. Click here to take a look at the Beauty with a Purpose short video.
Fred Hannah, Curriculum Manager for Media and TV Production at Glasgow Clyde College said: “This project provided our talented students with professional opportunities while supporting Amy's journey to the international stage.
“The students gained real life experience on planning and attending shoots alongside developing their post-production skills to produce content that has the potential to be seen by millions of people.
“We are so excited to see the reaction to the student's excellent visual storytelling and wish Amy success as she represents Scotland at the Miss World competition in India.”
Amy Scott, Miss Scotland 2024 said: “Working with the students from Glasgow Clyde College has been one of the most memorable parts of my Miss World journey so far.
“Archie, Eilidh, Heather, Lauren and Niamh were all incredible and brought such energy and professionalism to both shoots.
“They really understood the heart behind both films — showcasing Scotland and sharing my passion for raising awareness about Multiple Sclerosis — and they brought those ideas to life with real creativity and care.
“The fact that their work might soon be seen by millions, even over a billion people worldwide, says everything. Scotland’s future storytellers are more than ready for the global stage.”
Glasgow Clyde College currently offers two TV courses with HND Digital Film and Television and NQ Digital Film and Television both offering a real career path in the Creative Industries.
