Thank you very much.

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

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.
