Thank you so much. That was a really good advice. I wanted to be in research my entire life and still want to.

Quote. If your maths isn't up to scratch then the chances are they won't even put you forward for funding.

So, does that mean I should be fully-equipped even before I apply? Is it advisable that I refresh my Maths first and then start looking for the funded projects?

Thanks. But should I even go for a Phd or not? I think I've forgotten all about Maths. Shouldn't I go for something like a refresher course ( if anything like that exists)? I'm a bit confused

I did my Mphil in Applied Maths from Pakistan in 2011. I am planning to do Phd from UK now, since I reside in London now. I find myself pretty helpless in this regard. I don't know the procedure. Neither do I know any professors. Which professor to chose? which university is good for Phd in Maths? I definitely need funding.
Since its been two years since I did my Mphil, I am doubtful if I should get into Phd. Should I do a masters first so to refresh my Maths? Because, I wasn't a very bright student even in Mphil. I love research work, but there is no research institute which would cater to non-Phds (or is there?). I would appreciate any advice regarding this issue.
