I'm currently a first year maths undergrad in the UK, on completion of my 4 year course, I will have a Master's degree.
What do I have to do to get into research?
One of my biggest worries to how to make a good application for funding, or even getting the PhD itself. Any tips? ...To be honest, I lack basic knowledge like what ever are the prerequisites to get into maths research, all I really know is that you almost certainly need a PhD.

...Note to self: Never forget that /sci/ is 80% high schoolers.

Pick one.
If Research Experiences for Undergraduates are a thing where you live, I strongly recommend that.
You have to do a "successful" (to be defined) Ph. D. with an influential supervisor to hope for any post-doc in maths that would eventually lead to a tenure after the 5th post doc.
Math field is full unless you do major breakouts in a domain.

Most countries require a master before applying for a PhD.
America allows to jump straight to it because fuck it.

The US jumps straight into it because they want cheap but intelligent labour for menial lab tasks. Face it, PhDs in the US get cucked, hard.

Doing your PhD in math is basically the same as doing masters tbh but you have a lot more too do.

so what's stopping someone from getting their PhD in the US and then moving to Europe or somewhere with jobs
