A cross-sectional study was conducted with nursing and midwifery students in Hamadan Nursing and Midwifery Faculty.

The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure questionnaire was applied. 79.65% of participants were nursing students and 20.4% midwifery students. The highest average perception of the education climate was 21.87 as to second nursing semester students. The findings showed that the perception of the lower levels students in regarding learning, instructors, self-studentship, climate of the faculty subcategories had significant difference than high-year students, and in self-social subcategory data showed that there is no significant difference between the perceptions of the students in different academic years.
