In the winter semester 2021/22, the university location Neuburg started with Bachelor's degree programmes in the field of sustainable infrastructure. In October 2022, Prof. Dr.-Ing.

The council members elected Prof. Dr.-Ing. Uwe Holzhammer as the women's representative. He is head of the Research and Transfer Centre Sustainability (ForTraNN) and teaches in the field of energy systems engineering. Prof. Dr. Andreas Haese is the chairman of the examination board.

"Today's first Faculty Council of the Faculty of Sustainable Infrastructure was a complete success - the election proposals were unanimously approved, so that we can now get to work together. I look forward to the next semester with a well-staffed Faculty Council," said founding Dean Jana Bochert.
The Faculty of Sustainable Infrastructure, based in Neuburg an der Donau, offers the degree programmes Sustainable Civil Engineering, Sustainability and Environmental Management, Industrial Engineering - Construction and, from the coming winter semester 2023/24, the purely English-language degree programme Sustainable Civil Engineering.
