The university opened with four faculties—education, arts, and culture; health sciences; social sciences; and agricultural engineering—and 50 faculty, with plans to continue expanding. Initially, UCT accepted students for 13 departments, including two that were previously part of ICR. Incoming students were required to complete a sixth-month course to learn Portuguese and English before beginning their regular studies. UCT opened its academic year on 24 March 2022 with a ceremony attended by Archbishop da Silva, former president José Ramos-Horta, and Holy See representative Msgr. Marco Sprizzi. At the ceremony, the university's first rector, Rev. Joel Casimiro Pinto said that UCT aimed "to be the premier university for scientific teaching and research in Timor-Leste." The university opened the 2023 academic year on 15 March 2023 with a ceremony attended by President Ramos-Horta.
