Is it really possible for my uni ISP to detect network scanners like Wireshark and Netcat?
Yes.
The question would be, are they even bothering looking.

Neither of those are really network scanners.
Wireshark allows you to sniff packets on your machine
And netcat allows you to grab or send connections via TCP or UDP ports
>>59654191
No on wireshark plus that's a retarded question.
Something like Nmap might cause trouble. I brought down the wireless at work with it. (I am the IT technician).

Yeah, because NMAP requires a packet flood to do its job depending on scan options
