I have offers from the following universities

2 years for MEng electrical engineering
- portsmouth
- plymouth
- Sheffield hallam
- coventry

I'm considering coventry out of these few.

Or 3 years for BEng(Hons) electrical engineering
- Queen's belfast

Is a masters in a low tier university more valuable? Or a honors degree in a Russel group more valuable?

Sorry. None of them are worth spending the money on.
For UK unis, go only if it's OxBridge, Imperial, UCL, KCL, LSE, or Warwick, else it's a waste of cash. :)

According to this, queen's belfast is marginally better in quality of undergrad engineering programmes. It is rank 25. Sheffield hallam is 62, plymouth is 47, portsmouth is 41, coventry is 30.

But this is for undergrad rankings. I don't know about their master's programmes. I found this quite a helpful ranking when choosing undergrad. If it's near the bottom of the ranking, don't sign up for the course, as there is usually some flaw with the way that course is run.
