The question as you ask it is meaningless.

A modern conception of analytic philosophy deriving from the logical positivists would argue that philosophy is subordinate to science inasmuch as it is the 'handmaiden' of the sciences.

Such people would claim that the purpose of philosophy is to ensure conceptual clarity in other disciplines.

Other modern philosophers, particularly those in the mould of the later Wittgenstein, and the continental folk, would describe philosophy as articulating a profoundly different way of doing things: of understanding the world, as opposed to knowing more about it.

It's worth noting that science was initially undifferentiated from philosophy in ancient times, and most sciences have grown out of philosophy. Physics used to be natural philosophy; psychology grew from the philosophy of mind...

Why study of philosophy of science?

Philosophy is no longer a field of Science at all. Science, specifically Physics, did develop from Philosophy, and other Sciences developed from Physics. This (above) explains the term "PhD" (Doctor of Philosophy) and "Physician". There are many differences between Philosophy and Science. The most important is probably that Science deals exclusively with physical objects (living or not), while Philosophy has a wider area of concern. Also, in Science, questions can (often) be answered by performing an experiment. If everyone agrees that the experiment was designed and done well, the results are accepted as "the correct answer." It is not like that in Philosophy.
