Well my first reaction was that there probably would not be such a course due to demand (or lack of) However, surprisingly there are courses available in English but it depends on your specialism. For example there are plenty of postgraduate courses e.g. in Biomedical science, medical biology, occupational therapy, but I could not find anything (just based on a quick search) in English at undergraduate level in this area. However, as I mentioned, this was a quick check, so here is the link to the NUFFIC site where there is a listing of the courses available for international students (in English) http://www.nuffic.nl/international-students/dutch-higher-education/search-international-study-programmes/search-study-programmes-in-english and you can take a look here for yourself. Good luck

I could not find one, perhaps to difficult or dangerous? I have a list of all the 13 universities, big and small. Try contact each of them to ask. Most other medical studies seem to be available. What counts for you are their plans for the first year that you could join. They are the only ones to be able to answer this straight but again, it may be prohibited. http://www.opleiding.net/kaart_universiteiten.html

Medicine is a so-called 'lotery' study. It means that there is a fixed number of places. Based on your grades (high school diploma) you get a weighing in 'the lottery' (e.g. if you have 80/100 avarage your chances to get in are much higher than on a 60/100 avarage). I don't think you will find the course in English, as there are already too many Dutch students that want to get in. Try Belgium (e.g. Antwerp) instead.
