The B.A. degree is often called an "ordinary" B.A. and sometimes labeled as "B.A. (gen)," standing for general. It is a degree of lesser standing than the B.A. (Hons), which is more academically demanding and requires greater levels of learning and achievement. Unlike a typical American college education, the British course of study leading to the B.A. or B.A. (Hons) focuses only on one subject, with no general education classes required. A B.A. (Hons) is required if a student wishes to pursue further higher education and get a Master's degree or a Doctorate. The B.A. (Hons) can be awarded at four levels: first class, upper second class, lower second class and third class. The classification is determined based on the student's final grades after the three years of study. If a student in a B.A. (Hons) program fails to achieve enough to be awarded a third class degree, he is sometimes awarded an ordinary B.A. instead. good luck
