The article is devoted to defining new approaches to understanding the essence of modern inclusive higher education. In order to establish who needs special educational conditions today, a survey of students of the 1st, 3rd and 5th study years was carried out. It showed that most students today need help with communication and integration. Correlation analysis based on the data obtained from the survey gives every opportunity to assert that the links between the questions of it for certain groups of students (target groups of 17-18 years old and 19-20 years old) are pretty strong. Based on this, it was concluded that communication problems in groups of students decrease over time, but over a reasonably long period. Therefore, during the first years of university education, there is a necessity to talk not about inclusion but integration.Special attention was devoted to highlighting the problems of modern inclusive higher education, its socio-cultural aspect and its role in forming society in the future. In addition, instruments were proposed with the help of which it is possible to achieve the fundamental goals of inclusive education.
