Universidade Nacional de Timor-Leste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National University of East Timor (Portuguese: Universidade Nacional Timor Lorosa'e; Tetum: Universidade Nasionál Timór Lorosa'e), based in Dili, is the major institution of higher education in East Timor.
It was founded in 2000 as the first university in East Timor. In the colonial period, the few East Timorese who sought higher education were forced to go abroad, usually in Portugal. In 1986, during the Indonesian occupation, the governor Mário Carrascalão founded the Universitas Timor Timur (UnTim).
The president of the university is Benjamim de Araújo e Côrte-Real.
