    welding type is purely dependant on the material being welded. arc welding is the most popular for steel pipes etc. This is where you use a welding rod connected through a handle to the welding machine. In marine application this is used all over the place for 'sticking two bits of metal together'! it is the most versatile. It can be used for most things and so is probably the one you want to go for. Also, I would imagine your teachers at college would be able to point you in the rigth direction. To ask to speicialise before you know the differences between the types is a bit tough! I guess they would explain all that on day one, and then ask you which way you want to go!
