You overestimate how much about philosophy of science one has to understand in order to get a PhD - Let alone a Master's or Bachelor' s degree or so. I myself was taught zilch about all that in the regular classed because the courses and lectures you have to take mostly concentrate on teaching you how to use existing theories. I learned what doing science means in my thesis work. I'd say I only learned how to properly do it by working with brilliant scientists.
