MSc Accounting and Finance Student, Boya Zhang excels in ACCA Advanced Financial Management exam

Boya Zhang is a current student on MSc Accounting and Finance programme. He achieved 1st place in Ireland and 9th place globally in the March 2020 ACCA Advanced Financial Management exam.

Boya Zhang is a current student on MSc Accounting and Finance programme. He achieved 1st place in Ireland and 9th place globally in the March 2020 ACCA Advanced Financial Management exam.

[ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is a global professional accountancy body, with 219,000 members and 527,000 students based in 179 countries.]

Responding to his achievement, Boya Zhang stated:

“It is my great honour to be placed 1st in Ireland and 9th globally in the March 2020 ACCA Advanced Financial Management exam while studying for my MSc in Accounting & Finance degree at the Queen's Management School.

The curriculum has helped me complete the ACCA exams to a great extent. On December 19th, I passed the SBR and SBL exams, largely due to the excellent teaching of professors in the ACC7001 and ACC7004 courses. Their instruction gave me great inspiration.

A tip I would like to share here is about arranging time appropriately. During the study period for the MSc degree, pay attention to what professors teach in the lectures and make notes for understanding comprehensively, then properly allocate time to practice and scientifically prepare for the ACCA exams. If you do so, everyone can pass the ACCA exams successfully.

I hope everyone is healthy in these times, but do not stop studying, be full of energy. As we all know ‘the wise create opportunities, the strong grasp the opportunity, the weak wait for opportunities’.”

Martin Quinn (Programme Director, MSc Accounting and Finance programme) added:

“It is great to hear that one of our students achieved best in Ireland. Getting a first place in the exams of any professional body is remarkable, but to do so while studying for your Master’s degree is exceptional. It is a credit to Boya and to the course lecturers and tutors who motivated him.”
