steps:

1. Create /var/lib/iwd/newcastle-university.8021x or replace newcastle-university with eduroam.
2. Paste this into the file and replace put your password here with your (Microsoft) password and put your username here with your computer username, which is your student number with a c at the front, and the first and last numbers removed.

    
    [Security]
    EAP-Method=PEAP
    EAP-Identity=anonymous
    EAP-PEAP-Phase2-Method=MSCHAPV2

3. Save the file.
4. Then either restart your system or the iwd service (I found it easier just to restart the system).
