In BA Psychology you will taught Psychology as one subject with other subjects like  English, Philosophy, Political Science etc( based on your choice) where as in  BA (Hons) in Psychology you will be taught only Psychology and its various Subjects like Child Psychology, Experimental Psychology, Research Methodology
If you want to pursue a career in psychotherapy or child psychology, then BA Psychology (Hons.) will be a better option for you, and if you want to pursue a more scientific and research-based career in psychology, then BA Psychology would be the right course for you.
