1 Doctoral studies in global time and change female doctoral student and individual lifecourse in Finland Minna Maunula Jyväskylä University Kokkola University Consortium Finland ABSTRACT Multiple global changes in the form of knowledge and the change in the doctoral education create the need to examine the current practices of doctoral degree. The change forces discussion about the future of doctoral education and the future of the prospective doctors. The doctoral education has to answer the demands set for it. Forming a comprehensive understanding requires an examination at the micro and macro level. In this article I examine the lifecourse of the under 40-year-old female doctoral student with a family and the significance of doctoral studies at the individual level. I concentrate on the personal lifecourse experiences of the women and on the chronological stories which are based on them. It is interesting to examine the meeting of the public and individual lifecourse and their constant dialogue. The article is based on my doctoral thesis research in education.

In Europe the higher education has been unified, along with others, with the help of the Bologna processandlisbonstrategyandbothhaveasignificantroleinthedoctoraleducation(bitusikova2009,200).

Systematized effectiveness and even better relevance to the working life are sought after for the doctoral education. Free doctoral education is arranged in each of the 16 Finnish universitiesandinprincipleitisavailableforeverybody,however,theselectionfordoctoraleducationisbasedontheearlier academicperformanceandonmeritoriousresearchplan(stubb,pyhältö,soini,nummenmaa&lonka2010).inspiteofthe aimsforequalitytheheritabilityofthelevelofeducationisstillstrong.accordingtotheoecdreport(2012)68%ofthefinnish universitystudents'parentsarehighlyeducated.

The female doctoral students constructed their life actively as directed by their family and their doctoral studies. The lifecourse is temporally continuous and comprehensive, the different factors and wholeness are in the interaction among themselves, which took shape creating both likenesses and individual features of lifecourseastoldpersonallybythewomen.
