Pharmacy student Eva Martin tells us about her favourite places for walking, biking and hiking near Brighton.
One of my favourite things about living in Brighton is that we get to have it all – city, coast, and nature all in one place.

Tell us about the subject area(s) you teach at undergraduate level?
I lead the research methodology aspect of the undergraduate curriculum, convening the second-year Research and Field Skills module which provides training on how to undertake research and design a dissertation project which students will complete in their final year. I am also module leader for Cities and Social Change, an optional first-year module which covers urban geography. I have developed a whole suite of day trips around Brighton and to coastal towns around Sussex to help students put their learning into context. My particular favourite is the trip we make in the spring to Bexhill-on-Sea where we look at the juxtaposition of Oriental and Modernist architecture and investigate its contribution to the town’s heritage tourism strategies.
