I'm considering applying to the University of Sheffield for Computer Science. I'm interested in the BSc program. Can you tell me what the core focus of the BSc Computer Science course is, provide at least three specific examples of areas I can experiment with, detail the duration of the optional industrial placement year, describe the facilities available to students, and list at least three types of roles and three companies that graduates typically go on to work for?
Navigate to 'https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dcs'. Click on the 'Undergraduate study' link. Click on the 'Computer Science degrees' link (or equivalent link leading to BSc Computer Science details). Click on the 'Computer Science BSc' link (for the relevant entry year, e.g., 2026-27). Identify the core focus of the BSc Computer Science course from the 'Course description' section. Identify at least three specific examples of areas for experimentation mentioned on the page. Locate and extract the duration of the optional industrial placement year. Identify details about the facilities available to students. Click on the 'Graduate careers' link. List at least three types of roles and three companies that graduates typically go on to work for. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
The agent successfully navigates to the dedicated 'Computer Science BSc' course page. The agent states that the core focus of the course is to learn 'how to understand the theoretical issues underlying a problem and how to engineer a solution'. The agent provides at least three specific examples of experimental areas, such as 'speech recognition', 'voice synthesis', 'text summarisation', 'machine translation', 'robot learning and control', 'computational biology', or 'virtual reality'. The agent states that the optional industrial placement year is 'at least 38 weeks'. The agent describes the facilities as including 'the latest software and equipment, including high-spec computers with graphics processing units, as well as a robotics arena in our dedicated labs'. The agent lists at least three types of graduate roles (e.g., 'IT consultants', 'software engineers', 'software developers', 'project managers', 'data scientists'). The agent lists at least three companies that graduates work for (e.g., 'Amazon', 'ARM', 'BT', 'Bank of America & BofA Securities', 'Goldman Sachs', 'Google', 'IBM', 'Microsoft', 'Plusnet').
