Professor Frčkoski graduated at "Iustinianus Primus" in 1981. In 1986 at the same Faculty he completed the master studies, working on a thesis about theoretical perspectives on social-democracy. He obtained his doctoral degree at the University of Ljubljana in the area of political sciences in 1989, working on topics related to democracy. His doctoral dissertation afterwards was published under the title Theories of Democracy. During his academic career has been engaged as a guest lecturer widely in Europe and North America, and was a visiting professor for ten years in Italy at the second cycle study/master program of the International Institute for European Studies (IUIES), where he was also a member of the scientific committee. He was also engaged as a visiting professor at Università degli studi Internazionali di Roma. His latest engagement (May 2018) as a visiting professor was at The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA).

Frčkoski has participated at numerous scientific events dedicated to different topics, but mainly concentrated on human rights, international law, political theory, nationalism, psychoanalysis. At one of the last conferences where he participated, at the University of Leeds, Conference for Interdisciplinary Approaches to Politics (2016), he presented his latest work with intertwining psychoanalysis and political theory and political philosophy discussing the issue of nationalism. This phase of his work is elaborated in details in his book Restless Nationalism. And in the forthcoming Human Rights and Psychoanalysis (to be published autumn, 2018), he is developing the contemporary critique of human rights via the categories of psychoanalysis, following the Lacanian tradition and Slavoj Žižek's interpretation.

As a scientific coordinator, professor Frčkoski is working on the ongoing project "Critical Re-examination of Law" at the Faculty of Law "Iustinianus Primus". The project is focusing on the contemporary critique of law, within differently organized methodological and content approaches parted in four parts.

Beside being active in the academia, he participated in the work of some international organizations as the European Commission against Racism and Discrimination (2002-2007), the French Institute for International Relations (from 1994), the International Institute for Middle East and Balkan Studies (from 2016).

From 1997 onwards, Frčkovski was active as a columnist in some Macedonian newspapers, such as Дневник and Време.
