Also interested to go on a welding course when I return to the UK next year before returning to studies in September. I would like two learn some basics then probably buy some cheap equipment to continue to self teach. I'm studying design so it'll be a useful skills for prototyping/ making etc... but also have the intention on making some bicycle frames / modifications / racks for personal use. I've done a fair bit of metal work and prep in last couple years but none of the actual welding myself. Could anyone point me in the right direction to begin with ? Would starting with MIG / stick be best option ? Pref a course in London or Midlands.

If you want to do bike stuff, an easier entry into joining metal in an effective way is brazing.

Yes brazing would be easier I understand. I thought for my practice, apart form bicycles, tig will be more beneficial however. But I am not ruling out brazing yet. My reference to stick / mig, was to learn this as an intro, then progress onto tig. Or should I try a find a TIG course to begin with ?
