University of Ulster media students have been working with the BBC on the interactive coverage of the Milk Cup 2008 at the university's studios in Coleraine. A team of five students have been creating a series of three short films around the event with the assistance of two BBC mentors - Jerome Quinn and Michael Simon.

Pictured with the students at back from left to right are Colm Murphy, subject leader in media at the university, and BBC editor Michael Simon. The students delivered 3D animations, music, videos and interviews for the Milk Cup website, which you can see by following the links below...
