free WiFi at universities and colleges worldwide
eduroam lets you get online at hundreds of universities, colleges and research institutions across the UK and in 100+ countries, using a single set of credentials from WTC. No guest passwords, no signing in at reception — your device connects automatically once set up. WTC is a member of eduroam(UK), operated by Jisc.
We teach through hubs, which are almost all partner venues we do not own. We do not broadcast eduroam at WTC sites, so do not expect to find it at your hub. What eduroam gives you is instant WiFi when you walk into a participating university, library, conference, partner institution, or the September residential at the University of Nottingham.

**This is the single most important thing on this page.**
Your eduroam credentials are separate from your WTC Google account. They were emailed to you: the username looks like yourname@wtctheology.org.uk, with a 14-character password. Your normal WTC email password will not work, and you must never type it into an eduroam prompt.
This is deliberate. eduroam hands your password to the network you are visiting, so keeping it separate means that even in the worst case nobody reaches your email, Drive, or student records. Lost your credentials? Email eduroam@wtctheology.org.uk — do not guess, and do not use your Google password.
You should have received an email in your WTC email account entitled ‘Your WTC Eduroam Login’. Within this email you will find a username and password needed to log in to eduroam.
On any device, open your wifi settings and select ‘eduroam’. You should now be asked to provide your username and password, this is where you need to put your WTC eduroam credentials.
If you have any issues, please open the relevant section below for your specific device.
On your iPhone, you may either be able to log in instantly, or need to install a profile. To try logging in instantly, click Eduroam and enter your password credentials that were emailed to you (remember, the password is not the same as your regular WTC password). It may then ask you to trust and/or install A eduroam certificate, if it does, click “Trust” or “install” as appropriate.
If this doesn’t work, follow the below steps.
You may get a screen which asks for more information if your phone requires it. Enter these exactly. If a field is not offered, leave it blank.
– Network (SSID): eduroam
– Security: WPA2-Enterprise or WPA3-Enterprise (If asked)
– EAP method: PEAP (or TTLS if PEAP is unavailable)
– Phase 2 / inner auth: MSCHAPv2
– CA certificate: WTC Theology eduroam CA or “Trust on first use”
– Server / domain name: radius.wtctheology.org.uk – if asked
– Identity / username: yourname@wtctheology.org.uk (these details are in an email you have been sent to your WTC email account)
– Password: your eduroam password you have been emailed.
– Anonymous identity (if offered): anonymous@wtctheology.org.uk
– Advanced options – not required
You may be shown a “Security certificate” popup with “WTC Theology eduroam CA” as the certificate name – click Trust. If you still not able to access eudroam please email eduroam@wtctheology.org.uk.
On a Mac, you need to install a special profile to install Eduroam.
Trouble connecting on Windows?
1. On the laptop, go to https://cat.eduroam.org/?idp=9954&profile=16622
2. Click Download installer (it detects Windows), then run the file and click through it — this installs the security certificate for you.
3. When prompted, enter the eduroam username and password emailed to you — not your usual WTC email/Moodle password.
4. Pick eduroam from the Wi-Fi list. You should be online.
Already tried setting it up by hand? Forget the old network first — Wi-Fi settings → eduroam → Forget — then run the installer. The broken manual settings block it otherwise.
Never tick “don’t validate the certificate” or “connect anyway” — the installer means you’ll never need to.
Still stuck? Email eduroam@wtctheology.org.uk, and a photo of your screen helps.
