Summary/Abstract: The article shows what is level of the inclusion and social cohesion among students in Poland and whether there are differences between men and women in the level of social cohesion and inclusion. The research group were students from the first year of business studies at the University of Szczecin. In the theoretical part of the article, an analysis was made of the essence of social cohesion and integration and linking of it to social capital. While the empirical part shows the sources of social conflicts and therefore results in reduction of the level of social integration. It also shows what is the level of the cohesion amongst students in Poland. The survey method was used in the analysis. The test results showed that the level of social cohesion and inclusion is higher among men than among women, and that the Poles are a rather homogeneous society, religiously and ethnically.
