Olssen (2015) reveals the history of neoliberalism in UK, in his article, by presenting the theoretical background for neoliberalism and how its being enforced in higher education trough institutions which fund and measure the quality of research (129-148). Jauhiainen, et, al (2015) investigated the consequences of performativity culture in higher education, focusing on university staff, for example, researchers and lecturers. Neoliberalism in Finland, similar to UK; it is being enforced trough a range of new steering tools and practices called policy techniques , which include quality assurance, etc (Jauhiainen, et, al, 2015, 405). While most of the routes of which neoliberalism came part of higher education has been well acknowledged, one very potential and central ways is still poorly understood: the students. This lack of research is significant, if we do not investigate the role of students as potential carriers of neoliberalism to universities, we turn our eyes away from a key issue. In order to investigate this problem, we will study teacher students´ manner of speak when they discuss about developing teaching in university of Lapland´s music curriculum.
