doktorsky

Doktorsky is a Czech adjective meaning related to a doctor or to a doctoral degree. In academic and public contexts, it is used to describe things connected with doctoral studies, with doctoral qualifications, or with people who hold a doctorate. The term fits into the Czech system of degrees and titles, where the doctorate is known as doktorát and related expressions indicate level, field, or status within higher education.

Etymology and form: the word is derived from the noun doktor (doctor) with the adjectival suffix -ský. The standard form with diacritics is doktorský; in non-diacritic text it appears as doktorsky. The term is common in Czech and has cognates in other Slavic languages that use similar adjective formations to denote scholarly or professional doctorate-related attributes.

Usage and examples: doktorský titul refers to a doctoral degree or doctorate. doktorský program or doktorandský program denotes a doctoral studies program, often the PhD track at a university. doktorská škola refers to a doctoral school or a structured research training environment for doctoral students. The noun doktorand denotes a PhD student, a different but related concept from the adjective doktorsky, which describes the degree, program, or status rather than the person.

See also: Doktor, Doktorát, doktorský titul, doktorská škola, doktorand. These terms form part of the broader academic hierarchy in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and are used in official university documents, curricula, and research contexts.
