My professor said something about that it's not for sure wether the subconscious exists or not..
I didn't really get it.. What could he have meant?

The simple answer: Yes
There are plenty of studies that demonstrates that cognitive processes occur without "conscious" awareness of said processes.
Anyone that disputes this clearly isn't aware of what's going on in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, let alone the work on priming in social psych, etc.
On the other hand, though, how deep is this question supposed to go? It kinda depends on how you define "the subconscious." Are there functions of your brain working that you're not totally aware of? Yeah. Is there any support to the Freudian idea of Id as subconscious? Not really, no. Without the OP going into what they mean by "subconscious," does the question have any meaning?
