Centre of Excellence – The Witch Trials Diploma Course
What Will You Learn?
The witch trials were troubling for many people, especially peasants, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Witch Trials Diploma Course will give you an overview of some of the most famous cases in witch trial history. Spanning across Europe and passing into America, you will study various cases alongside primary sources to engage with accounts from real people during this period of unrest.
The course begins by setting the stage for the witch trials – how the witch trials began, how they came to be in the UK and why they flourished.
You’ll learn about medieval society, how King James VI of Scotland became James I of England, and why he carried out witch hunts. You’ll also gain insight into the malleus Maleficarum and other important texts that helped enforce how witch trials were conducted and punishments exacted.
From there, we take an in-depth look into the various witch trials and hunts across Europe. Starting with Scotland, you’ll be taken through the country’s witch trials and their outcomes. You’ll learn about England’s most prominent witch trials and the Witchfinder General and his employment to hunt and execute witches. We’ll also look into the witch hunts of Wales and Ireland, and explore the witch trials of Europe – covering Spain, Scandinavia and Germany.
Finally, you’ll learn about the Salem witch trials and how they came to be. You will be introduced to Tituba and Susanna and be able to read first-hand accounts from their trials. We’ll also find out about the end of witch-hunting and the discovery of science.
