• When you have selected Uni-WiFi, and are asked what sort of security to use, choose WPA2 Enterprise. 
• Encryption type is AES
• Authentication method is Microsoft Protected EAP (PEAP)
• Log in with your usual University username and password.
• If you are prompted to accept a security certificate, do so.

Note that some older devices do not support WPA2 enterprise and therefore cannot connect.
