I suggest adding a line to protect your password, right after the require line: protect password *Password

This will hopefully work for other universities too
Create the following template file for eduroam:
(/etc/wicd/encryption/templates/eduroam)
name = Eduroam
author = hautod
version = 1
require identity *Username password *Password
----
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="eduroam"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP TKIP
eap=PEAP
ca_cert="/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/AddTrust_External_Root.crt"
identity="$_IDENTITY"
domain_suffix_match="radius.bath.ac.uk"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
password="$_PASSWORD"
}
Append "eduroam" to '/etc/wcid/templates/active' so it looks similar to this:
wpa
wpa-peap
wpa-psk
wpa-psk-hex
wpa2-leap
wpa2-peap
wep-hex
wep-passphrase
wep-shared
leap
ttls
eap
peap
peap-tkip
eap-tls
psu
eduroam
You should now be able to connect using your full university email as the username and your university password.
