what the difference between as Bsc + BA degree??

If your son harbours a secret ambition to achieve enough qualifications, memberships of professional bodies and honorary titles so that the letters after his name spells out a word, he'll find a BA a much easier start than a BSc.

If your son wants to go into academia, the universities he's applying for will likely know this stuff. Employers are v unlikely to care whether it's a BSc or BA and, if they are concerned, he should be able to explain this to them*. Employers and universities are very likely to care about things like: the reputation of the university and geography department; the class of the degree; what your son focussed on, etc.

Exactly. As I said, Oxford gives out only BAs, even for Geography and Physics, and I'd like to see an employer trying to say that's a mickey-mouse degree!

In sum, there is no real difference between BA and BSc. However, at his particular university there might be different options available on these two courses, and so he needs to check carefully that he will be doing a course he finds interesting.
