The University Wi-Fi network is called eduroam. With eduroam you can connect to the internet from any location on campus, and also at other participating institutions around the world, wherever you see the eduroam logo.
The easiest way to connect to eduroam is to download and run the automatic configuration app.
One advantage of this app-based approach is that you don’t need to be on campus to set up your University Wi-Fi. Simply download the relevant app from the comfort of your home and fill in the required details. Your device will then be ready to connect as soon as you come onto campus.
