I spent the majority of my life fucking about and not really achieving anything. I relocated country, worked in the woods. However as of last year I enrolled into University studying Mathematics and Physics. As a mature student (27) what are my chances in the future trying to find work in a related field and does anyone have any tips about internships and finding them, also how much will my age effect this?

If you're in the US you can try REU for math and physics. They can prep you for grad schools and give you some real science experience. Plus they pay you to work and learn.
30 y/out mature student here...going into third year of university, accepted for a strong (and paid) internship.
Play your strengths. Communication skills, experience working in professional environments,.etc.
A 21 year old who's gone straight to uni from school just doesn't know how the world works.

First 27 is young because we will all be working well into our 70's. You'll be fine just apply yourself and work the books.
