I want a Greek letter mu in between the text and when I write
\[\mu\]
in my .tex file, it prints on a single and separate line. How can I print it in between the text?
[Tex/LaTex] \[\mu\] is printing the Greek letter mu on a separate single line

I don't think there is any way to do this via babel-interpreted keyboard input, at least not without serious hacking.
Now, if you're typesetting actual Greek, I would recommend simply going with the loopy phi. That's what's used in Greek writing.
If, however, you're typesetting Greek letters for science or math, there are some packages that provide an upright variant phi:
upgreek(Euler or Adobe Symbol):$\upphi$txfonts(Times-like):$\phiup$pxfonts(Palatino-like):$\phiup$
If you need these letters a lot, you could define marcos for them with shorter names. For other upright Greek letters from these packages, see The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List.
Another option would be looking for a font that has the variant you like (Don't know if that exists, cf. above) and using that, probabaly with XeLaTeX. For XeLaTeX, however, you should use polyglossia instead of babel. Then again, if you're using XeLaTeX already, you might as well just directly put in one of the phis available in Unicode: ϕφɸ. But since this would mean a lot of copy-and-pasting, this might miss your point entirely because you seem to be looking for a comfortable way of typing in Greek letters.
This works:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,times,numbered,print,index]{Classes/PhDThesisPSnPDF}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{bm}
\begin{document}
aaaaaa
\begin{align}
\mathbf T \bm \Phi\\
\mathbf U \bm \Pi \\
\mathbf T \bm \phi\\
\mathbf U \bm \pi \\
\mathbf T A \Phi\\
\mathbf U A \Pi
\end{align}
\end{document}

The command
\[\mu\]is a short version ofwhich is normally used for longer formulas. If you want to typeset (short) formulas like μ, you should use the inline-math mode, i.e.
