Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the efficiency of public higher education institutions and presents the results of efficiency research for 18 faculties of the Warsaw University of Technology in the 2014/2015 academic year. The outputs of the model included: the number of graduates (reflecting activity in teaching), the number of publication points (reflecting activity in “theoretical” scientific work) and the number of research projects (reflecting activity in “practical” scientific work). Inputs were measured by the number of academic staff. The analysis was conducted using the non-radial network SBM model and traditional SBM model. The results show that five faculties were efficient using the SBM model. In using the network SBM model, we found that four faculties were efficient in terms of teaching activities and one faculty was efficient in the activities of “theoretical” and “practical” scientific work.
