Gippsland At Gippsland, the Bachelor of Computing is taken with a major in system development or business systems. A multimedia technology specialisation is also planned for introduction. The major in system development aims to produce graduates who are well suited to professional employment in a commercial computing environment. Students study core subjects in computer programming, including object-oriented programming using Java, computer technology, systems analysis and design, and software engineering, with supporting studies in communication skills, mathematics and accounting. Computing electives covering a range of more specialised topics are selected in the final year.
