...at the moment I'm in university and I know logically that in two year's time I am due to graduate. But I am in some way disconnected from it - it doesn't feel like I am at university working towards a degree, I find it hard to associate my current work with what I'm going to get in the future. It feels more like I am doing somebody else's work, somebody I don't know...

Maybe that is because you ARE doing someone else's work -- your professors'. Not your own work.
It's a feeling I had when I finished graduate school: I was very tired of trying to live up to other people's requirements on me. It has taken me a very long time to figure out who I am and what I am interested in. Makes for a much more satisfying, interesting, creative, and productive life. Not sure how to tell you to get onto that track. For me it took a close-to-life-threatening course. I hope it doesn't for you.
