HONG KONG, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Choosing the right university is a pivotal decision for many students, given the numerous options and the competitive landscape. For two exceptional Indonesian students, Irenia Jassmaine and Faith Makmurputri, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) emerged as the clear and wise choice. They recognised PolyU's potential to provide an enriching student experience and promising career opportunities both regionally and globally.
Irenia Jassmaine, a graduate from the Faculty of Engineering, earned her degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering with first-class honours. Her dedication, coupled with unwavering family support, paved the way for her success. Irenia's transformative journey at PolyU led her to secure a coveted position as a Management Trainee at Kerry Logistics, a renowned global leader in logistics and supply chain services.
"Throughout my PolyU journey, the robust curriculum and engaging co-curricular programmes equipped me with cutting-edge knowledge and professional connections. The international events and non-academic activities offered invaluable exposure and boosted my confidence. My summer exchange in Denmark was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet friends worldwide and deepen my expertise in my chosen field. I deeply appreciate the personal growth and global exposure I gained at PolyU. This enriching environment laid the foundation for my successful career ahead," Irenia shared.
Faith Makmurputri, a Year 4 Retail and Marketing student at the School of Fashion and Textiles (SFT), echoes Iriena's sentiments. Born and raised in Indonesia, Faith describes her PolyU experience as nothing short of transformative.
"The curriculum's blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience stands out, offering a holistic education that allows students to explore both the artistic and business sides of fashion. I wanted to enhance my creative side while also delving into the practicalities of the business world.
My time at the SFT has been both enriching and enlightening. From mastering design principles to understanding sustainable practices, I've gained skills that I will carry into my career. The School's eye-opening exchange programmes have broadened my global fashion perspectives. Internships have exposed me to real-world challenges, honing my adaptability and problem-solving skills. Scholarships and opportunities to compete locally and internationally have supported my growth and earned me recognition. I am sincerely grateful for my SFT journey," Faith expressed.
PolyU's Global Engagement Office warmly invites prospective students, parents, counsellors and others to discover our undergraduate programmes at our open house event at the Pullman Jakarta Central Park in Jakarta on 23 March 2025 and see firsthand what makes PolyU a standout choice.

Indonesian Students Achieve Success at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Soft tissue regeneration company, Aroa Biosurgery, is pleased to announce a milestone in clinical evidence.
There are now over 100 peer-reviewed studies describing the efficacy of the company's proprietary AROA ECM technology.
AROA's most recent publication was a large retrospective analysis of real-world evidence (RWE) from wound care centers in the US, assessing the efficacy of the company's Endoform NaturalTM product in treating venous leg ulcers (VLUs), in comparison to a leading reconstituted collagen dressing.
VLU's are open sores that are hard-to-heal because of impaired blood flow and can be very debilitating and painful. These types of wounds are difficult for clinicians to treat successfully. For example, only ~40% of VLUs can be healed after 3 months of treatment and there is a relatively high chance that these wounds will recur[1].
The peer-reviewed study, entitled "Clinical Efficacy of Ovine Forestomach Matrix and Collagen/Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose for the Treatment of Venous Leg Ulcers: A Retrospective Comparative Real-World Evidence Study" was published in the open access journal 'International Wound Journal in April 2025.
The study compared 470 VLU's that had been treated with Endoform Natural to 360 VLU's that had been treated with a reconstituted collagen product. The study used existing data from 223 wound care centers with minimal inclusion or exclusion criteria so that 'real-world' use of both products could be compared.
"There is a growing awareness of RWE studies to validate clinical performance" says Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Barnaby May. "These types of studies enable much larger patient numbers to be compared versus traditional randomized controlled trials. Given that RWE studies use data from 'real-world' use of a treatment, the results can be more meaningful, especially in wound care where there is a high degree of variability in how wounds are cared for and patient factors."
The study found that VLUs treated with Endoform Natural healed up to ~ 8 weeks faster versus the comparator group, and the chances of the wound healing were significantly improved when Endoform Natural was used as part of treatment.
The striking difference in the healing outcomes demonstrate the potential for considerable cost reductions and improvements in patient quality of life, due to the significant improvements seen when VLUs were treated using Endoform Natural.
Dr. Gregory Bohn MD was part of the research team. "I was first introduced to Endoform in 2012 and started using the product to treat my own patients with VLUs. This new data validates what I have seen in my own practice managing VLUs with Endoform."
This is the second large retrospective RWE comparing Endoform Natural to a leading reconstituted collagen dressing. A previous study included the analysis of over 2,200 diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and also demonstrated significantly faster healing of DFUs using Endoform Natural[2].
