Commonwealth 2027/28
The 2027/28 Commonwealth Master’s round is expected to open in September 2026 and close in October, but the CSC has not published dates yet. The point that matters more: the CSC accepts no direct applications — you must go through a National Nominating Agency, whose own deadline falls earlier than the CSC’s.

Questions about this cycle
No. Without a nomination the CSC will not consider you at all, and this single step is where most candidates fall out. Treat the agency’s date, not the CSC’s, as your real deadline.
