The modern globalized educational sphere requires well-established skills to work in a cross-cultural environment. The purpose is the study of socio-cultural factors that affect the educational experience of students. To implement the proposed goal, the PRISMA method of working with scientific sources, the method of content analysis of scientific literature, and the method of synthesizing individual results into a single system were used. In the results, it was noted that the effective formation of the sociocultural educational environment in higher education consists of several complex parts. The positive consequence of the formation of a socio-cultural environment undoubtedly creates an atmosphere for the success of education seekers and the harmonization of cross-cultural relations. It is indicated that there are separate risks that appear because of the complex interaction of all participants in the educational process. The study found that in modern universities there are many successful cross-cultural cases that contribute to the integration of different students: mobility programs, summer schools, scientific conferences, distance learning courses etc. The conclusions emphasize that the unification of students in a unique multicultural educational environment is a necessary part of the modern educational process in institutions of higher education.
