is BA psychology and BA Hons Psychology same or different ??
Just like any other subject, in psychology as well, in a regular BA degree, you are taught other subjects apart from psychology as well. In an honours degree, one studies only psychology and studies its subfields lie positive psychology, abnormal psychology, health psychology, etc.
Hello aspirant
Study of BA Psychology is the study of Psychology along with other subjects like Hindi, English, Philosophy, Political Science etc. But if you study BA (Hons) in Psychology learn the core of Psychology and its various Subjects like Child Psychology, Experimental Psychology, Research Methodology, Abnormal Psychology and many more of its fields. You can learn Psychology in detail, and explore the basics and advanced level of the subject.
BA (Hons) in Psychology is definitely better than BA Psychology, because it will help you gain a better understanding of the subject and its different branches.
Hope this helps!
