Advice/ Taught Masters v/s Mphil in Mathematics after 10 years

r/

Good day.

I was offered the Mphil scholarship in 2015 after topping my class as an undergraduate student in Bsc Mathematics and unfortunately refused due to life circumstances.

I went to work as a High school teacher and now that I am finding some free time again, I want to jump back into completing my Masters and eventually getting a PhD. Oh, and I am currently 32 years old.

It’s been 10 years since that offer. I’ve been so far out that even reading a research paper is confusing. I have lost touch with mathematical softwares and wanted to opt for a taught Masters so that I could study the field again before doing active research. Any advice from people who jumped back into tertiary education after long?
